Great answers gang...I was away for the weekend and just got back. I have taken your suggestions serious.
The youngest son is not a computer geek, albeit in his profession, High School History Teacher, he is computer literate. He stands at 6'4" about 240...but like anybody else, I believe in protecting yourself, without looking for trouble{and have tried to instill that in both sons)...hunting? Not so much these days, we come from a family of hunters and fisherman, but now are content to drown worms rather than hunt for food or sport{although with the coming economic crash, I may have to go back to rethinking that}.
Having said that, thanks again, I appreciate your input, and at the Fort Wayne Gun Show this weekend will be looking for bargins to test my $1000 limit theory. Will let you know what I come up with. These "gifts" will be for completion of his Masters Degree at Wright State University.
