I like all of them. They are all so inspirational and have some true meaning. I think my favorite one would have to be [size 1]“Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician." [/size]

[size 1]I have guns and guitars. I enjoy shooting as well as writing music.[/size]

[size 1]Thanks for the insight.[/size]

So are you armed, a musician, an armed musician, or neither? lol []

I consider myself fairly skilled with a rifle or shotgun, but guitars are out of the question for me.[crazy]

I have a Rueger security 6 double action and a Mossberg 12awg 3 1/4 inch magnum pump shotgun. They protect my 6string classic guitar, 6 string steel string and my 12 string guitar. I love to play guitar and don't shoot while I'm playing nor do I play while I'm shooting.
