mid 1980's and I went to a gun show at Norco, Calif. You could shoot

what
it did to a steel plate, cool. And also what it did to the shooter. No
thanks at shooting it.

Knew a real westerner couldn't be phooled. Ah, but Harry, he's an
eastern dude with known physical coordination challenges. Expect he'd
crack his skull 'bout down the middle of his forehead if he touched one
off...a well deserved mod, IMO.

Well, you could be fooled as Kansas is not the west.

What! Dodge City and Wichita wur NOT in the old west? Slap yur sides
pawdna!

Was the western part of the US, before they went really west. And my
parents are from the Mid-west, and mom grew up a mile from the Wyoming
border. Further west than Kansas. Still have a large range of mountains to
cross after Kansas to reach the real west.

And from Topeka, KS to Richmond, VA it is 1128 miles, while the other way
going west it is 1798 miles to San Francisco.
