Now that's a nice one JBT. You did good.
I've told this story before, so if you've heard it, feel free to roll your eyes like my wife does when I get started.
When I was a young buck, I took a job with Burns Security. Duriing the interview, the guy asked me if I'd ever fired a gun. Well, I'd hunted most of my life, so I said I had. OK...You're an armed guard. I was issued a Sam Brown belt, a Border Patrol holster, six rounds of RNL ammo, and a Colt Official Police, 4", with genuine fake pearl grips. Man, I was in high cotton. Talk about Barney Fife. And I had six bullets. It was the first handgun I'd ever held in my hands I think. Remember he didn't ask if I'd fired a handgun. Just had I ever fired A gun. I was a bit of a guardhouse lawyer even then I suppose.
I never fired that gun. I turned it back in with the same six, RNL rounds a couple of years later, which I'm sure got issued to some other candidate, but it left me with weak spot for the Official Police revolver that I still have to this day. I need to find some Franzite "pearl" grips.
