A lot of these replies have been enlightening... and not all for the better, the subject matter just doesn't leave room for a "comfortable, touchy-feely answer" that most folks can wrap their heads around, and come away saying " yeah, that's OK". My own oppinion (that I'll state at this point in time) is that if it's meant for me & mine, that's the way it ought to stay... I thought ahead, I baught, bartered, 'n scrounged, I saved... in short, I planned ahead... MY STUFF IS MINE!!! to share or keep, as I see fit, but the key to it is, as Chris has already REPEATEDLY stated, keep your business, YOUR business, maintain a low profile, and cover yer donkey... and if the day ever comes that you have to maintain possession by force, then by all means, don't leave any witnesses.

Shoot straight... shoot first, there's only one winner.

P.S. I just hope I make it down to the Islands before it comes to that in this neck 'o th' woods... have a great day, all.
