The Gift of a Lifetime
What would I do with my last box of .22 Long Rifle? First, I’d ask that it be a 100-round, hard-plastic box of good high-velocity hollow-points, like 37-grain Super-X’s or CCI Mini-Mags. I won’t cheat and call a 550-round value pack “a box.” Then I’d put it away and write my 6-year-old son, Anse, a letter for him to read after he gets a little older:

Take it to town and rid the world of 200 city fucks would be the best use.

When reading a short story named THE TRAIL by Arturo Longoria, a scenario of a world broke down and only scaveninging resources from back then and what could be made now had a hero with an old single shot bolt action and a neck pouch with a small quantity of long rifle ammunition. What a world that would be. The 1st Chapter of the story in link below.

What a great post, from a father to a son. I can add just one more tip, that I have used when bored sitting on my deer stand. Take two quarters out of your pocket, hold one in the left hand, like you made an OK sign, holding it tightly, and take the other in the right hand, and use it to tap, scrape, and such, and it will make noises that sound like a squirrel. Try it, and you will find that it really does work. I don't remember where I read this from, but it is a neat trick, and also passes the time, if you get bored in your stand deer hunting.

Gerard is an amazing blogger as are all of them.
ReplyDeleteLove me some .22LR. My favorite is a Model 63 Winchester, next is a new CZ 457. Over many years and for some unknown reason, I would purchase bricks of .22 whenever I saw it on sale. I’ve never experienced an ammo shortage. Guess I’m just lucky.
