Correction

I'm sometimes embarrassed when I reread sober what I wrote (thump) inebriated. The previous post is a case in point. I wondered whether to delete the entry or correct it and decided to correct it. There were actually two guns. One was the hammerless .22; the other was a .25 automatic. I do not remember where I got the .22, nor do I remember how I eventually disposed of it. But the story is true as far as it goes.
The .25 automatic is the stolen gun which was 'booby trapped.' Apparently the owner had arranged to have the first round under-charged such that if the weapon were ever used against him it would misfire lodging the first round in the barrel. He must have been prepared to eject that first round if it ever came to pass that he needed to use it against someone. By the way, I did not personally steal that gun. However, since I was running with the little gang that did, I was equally guilty. I should mention that shortly after that incident I found some new friends and began to walk the Straight and Narrow.
