(i think so anyway) the collected recomendations from the > LUG as to what a Leica owner should have in their kitchen. Excerpt: After seven or eight glasses of Chivas Brothers Royal Salute 50 year old scotch (mmmm!) someone suggests that we go outside and shoot a bunch of the empty scotch bottles with my very impressive Browning Citori over-and-under shotguns. We photograph one another firing guns and blasting bottles off of one another's heads. When we can barely stand and one or two of us have been winged by stray pellets, we retire to the house and stack our cameras on the kitchen table. _______________________ Kyle, as a long-time hunter and shooter, I am pretty sensitive to gun safety. I must say that I don't think the choice of a shotgun, to shoot empty scotch bottles off the heads of guests, is really appropriate. But if you must, I really suggest a small-bore, like a .410, or at most a 28-gauge like the one Dick Cheney used to whack Harry Whittington. A 12-gauge would present issues, and conceivably even liability concerns. Just my 2c in the interest of responsible firearm ownership. Ken
