Well,  at least one good thing from the current flap is that the skeet
shooting fiasco renewed my interest.  And, I find, one can buy
skeet/sporting clays guns with stocks adjustable for lefties like me.  Some
more research, then photos at 11.  And, we are talking about one-half the
cost of an M.  Or a little more.

My day job is VP of the largest firearms manufacturer in the West US.  
Calico Light Weapon Systems.  I do use the term going out on a shoot
carefully.

Re Blog woman.  What the heck was her point? Hyperbole. Horse pucky.
