A Younger ME - Forty Plus Years Ago.
In an early story (SCUBA Diving Into CANNISTER SHOT 10/01/2014) I told how I dived onto the wreck of the Volnay bringing-up lead-shot-canister - melting-down the lead into home-made weight belt weights.
I reckon that 'gun people' have a bit in common with 'car-nuts', bikers, fliers, divers, hunters, 'screen-ager' geeks, maybe even blacksmiths and engineers in general. - Is there perhaps a fascination here with how things work - what happens if I try to do 'this'? - No idea if this is so - except that's the way I have found things in my personal experience.
All these types seem to buck convention by doing individual activities (not 'team sport') that tend to involve heavy toys that make noise. - Swimming against the tide of the PC Crowd .
