welcome. Do you own any guns?
You want more gun control? Use both hands!

Welcome to IFG.

Do explain your handle. Does it mean "I love screw guns" or "Screw Guns"?? :wink:

Regards
Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

Taken from Rudyard Kiplings poem - Screw-guns :D
A few lines from the same -
..."For you all love the screw-guns -- the screw-guns they all love you!
So when we call round with a few guns,
o' course you will know what to do -- hoo! hoo! ""

Welcome aboard SG

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RML_2.5_inch_Mountain_Gun is the "screw gun" Kipling wrote about in his poem http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Screw-Guns
So when we call round with a few guns,
o' course you will know what to do — hoo! hoo!
Jest send in your Chief an' surrender —
it's worse if you fights or you runs:
You can go where you please, you can skid up the trees,
but you don't get away from the guns!
