"Grandpa's Lesson."

Pappy took to drinkin' back when I was barely three.
Ma got pretty quiet. She was frettin', you could see.
So I was sent to Grandpa and he raised me up real good.
He taught me what I oughta and he taught me what I should.

I learned a heap 'o lessons from the yarns he liked to tell.
There's one I won't forget because I learned it 'speshly well.
There jist ain't many folk who live a peaceful, carefree life.
Along with all the good times there'll be lotsa grief and strife.

But there ain't many troubles that a man caint fix
With seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six."

Grandpa courted Grandma near the town of old Cheyenne.
Her daddy was cantankerous - a very greedy man.
He wouldn't give permission for a fancy wedding day
'Til grandpa paid a dowry - biggest ever people say.

Her daddy softened up when Grandpa said that he could fix
Him up with seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six.

Grandpa herded cattle down around Jalisco way.
Ended up behind some iron bars one dusty day.
Seems the local jefe craved my Grandpa's pinto mare.
Grandpa wouldn't sell her so he lit on out of there.

Didn't take much doin' 'cept a couple special tricks
Plus seven hundred dollars and his thirty ought six.

Then there was that Faro game near San Francisco Bay.
Grandpa's cards was smokin' hot and he took all one day.
He woke up nearly naked in a ditch next early morn'.
With nothin' but his flannel shirt, and it was ripped and torn.

Those others were professionals and they don't play for kicks.
He lost seven hundred dollars and his thirty ought six.

He begged some woolen trousers off the local storekeep there
Who loaned him both a pony and a rifle on a dare.
He caught those thievin' cardsharks at another Faro game.
He got back all his property and also his good name.

He left one bleedin' badly and another mostly lame.
My Grandpa's trusty rifle shoots just where you choose to aim.

Grandpa's slowin' down a bit and just the other night
He handed me his rifle and a box sealed up real tight.
He fixed me with them pale grey eyes and this is what he said,
"You're awful young but steady too and I will soon be dead.

I'll bet this here old rifle and this honest money too
Will come in mighty handy just as readily for you.
There jist ain't many folk who lead a carefree peaceful life.
Along with times of happiness, there's always woe and strife.

But.....ain't many troubles that a man caint fix
with seven hundred dollars and his thirty ought six."

Thanks...learn something everyday.

In Colorado, I see a lot of stickers on cars of people who have (presumably) run marathons.
The sticker will say 13.1 or 26.2 within an oval.

And then I started seeing the same oval sticker, but instead inside it has 7.62, or 5.56.

I think you have to be at least a little gunny to get it

I'm guessing he 700+.30-06 is a reference to to Remington 700 in .30-06?

Then you would be guessing wrong. It might be helpful to read post #4.

Saw the 7.62 sticker on a car down in "The People's Republik of Lawrence" . Laughed so hard it startled my teenage daughter in the car with me. Had to explain it to her, once I caught my breath...

There is a well known thread on another gun forum that sums it up: "I didn't read the thread but I wanted to comment anyway."

I can imagine Lawrence leans a bit to the left!

I've seen "Time to feed the hogs!" a couple of times.

Yep, you can say that RW. My other name for it is "Berkley on the Kaw"..

Agreed. Very obscure reference. That's why I use "REF:" a lot. Just in case my readers don't read minds.

I don't advertise my weapons on my bumper.
A gun related sticker would have to be so obscure as to be decipherable only by the cognoscenti.

Only if it's in the original Greek script. I've had more than one person tell me when they saw it transliterated for the first time they thought it was a dirty pun in Latin involving, um, you know...

Nothing like pulling up to kid's school in the pickup line with a dirty Latin pun on your back bumper.

On a serious note, I never put anything gun related, or anything political for that matter on my car. It just encourages vandalism by the cowardly people who are easily offended. Many years ago my then high school age daughter put what she thought was a funny bumper sticker on both the family cars, talking about honking if you supported the rights of baby whales to live, or something like that. Apparently it was taken to mean something against abortion by someone, who vandalized both cars while also partially scraping off the "offending" bumper sticker. People are even more likely these days to take offense and react violently, even if only in a cowardly way when you are not their to defend yourself or your property. I don't even have NRA stickers on my cars. I used to have such stickers, but once as I was walking away from my parked car a really sleezy looking character said to me he saw the sticker and was wondering what guns I own? I told him it was none of his business but I did have concern that when I returned I might find my car broken into.

So now there are no stickers of any kind on any of my cars. Just as I carry concealed, and want to be just one more invisible old white haired guy, I also want my cars to be as innocuous as possible. Why give enemies or potential enemies any information at all that might take away any advantage that I might possess?

I like this one myself...








Although as I said in the other thread I'm not really for putting obvious gun references on my vehicle. Once I actually purchase my soon to be AR I might get one of those "runners" 5.56 stickers though. I do like that.
