Civilian Marksmanship Firearms Inspection & Repair Operations

Civilian Marksmanship Program

Anniston, AL - -(Ammoland.com)- In an effort to give the Garand

shooting and collecting communities an opportunity to intimately view

and participate in CMP Inspection and Repair processes and to reduce

our labor costs, we established a volunteer program that begin in July,

2010.

Assignments are based primarily on individual level of familiarity with

the Garand and CMP needs at the time. Although we do try to ensure

that volunteers spend a part of their time learning about and working on

the Garand, some time may be spent in warehousing, packing, or

shipping operations.

The CMP volunteer program that was in effect from 2001-2006 was a

huge success and benefited the CMP and all the great people who had

donated their time. Without exception, all past volunteers reported their

visits as very educational, recreational and enjoyable. Most of the past

volunteers had made several repeat visits from all parts of the country,

and many have become ambassadors for the program. The CMP is a

charity and expenses associated with volunteering may be tax deductible.

Volunteers absorb all costs for transportation, lodging and meals. We are

limited to ten volunteers per day and most stay 3-5 days per trip. Tools

and gauges are available, but we encourage volunteers to bring their

own.

Volunteers must be pre-approved. Because of nature of the commodity

with which we deal, all volunteers must be scheduled in advance. Walk-

ons will not be accepted. We require you to submit your request at least

two weeks prior to your visit, although we expect most dates to be

booked months in advance.

Cameras are allowed, but volunteers are asked to not bring their private

firearms. Working conditions are what should be expected. It gets very

hot in the summer and very cold in the winter, and the work is always

dirty.

We look forward to hearing from anyone interested in volunteering. For

more information or to schedule days, please contact Brian Vick at

bvick@odcmp.com, or call 256-835-8455 x 1126.

Why Was NJ’s Bow Perimeter Bill So Important?

By Ed Markowski

New Jersey Bow Hunting Bill Signed Into Law

New Jersey Outdoor Alliance

TRENTON, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- Now that the bill has passed and

will soon become law we can stop smiling over a job well done and

answer the question, why was this bill so important to bow hunters?

First of all we have to understand what exactly the bill does. It allows a

legally licensed bow hunter to hunt from an elevated stand at a distance

of 150’ from a building or structure.

You still must have the legal right to be on the property, you can not

trespass on posted private property and you can not be within 450’ of a

school playground. If we take a quick look at the old 450’ law and draw a

circle around a dwelling it excluded 14 acres of huntable area. The new

law excludes only 2 acres.

This becomes important if your neighbor is an anti hunter and wants to

stop you from hunting your own property. If you and your neighbor own

adjoining five acre lots the 450’ law would exclude you from bow hunting

on almost all of your property. Also it allows the bow hunter to have

more of an impact in controlling urban deer populations which before

this law passed they did not have access to. These urban deer

populations populations are also the ones causing most of the problems.

The most common of these being deer car collisions, destruction of trees

and plants and the spread of Lyme disease. When hunters have access to

a deer population, the State, through the setting of seasons and bag

limits can do its job in controlling these populations. Without access

there is no control.

With each victory by the sportsmen and women of New

Jersey comes the responsibility to live up to the high

expectations that are being placed on us.

We will never convince the anti-hunters that we have a right to even

exist. It is the non-hunting public that in the end will decide our fate. We

have a great opportunity with the passage of the Sunday bow hunting bill

last year and the perimeter bow bill this session to show the people of the

State of New Jersey that hunters are an important tool in wildlife

management. It is important to remember that hunting is a privilege

granted by legislation.

We must always remember that safety comes first and the best shot very

often is the one not taken. If we continue to police our own ranks and

prove to the public their trust in us is well deserved we will continue to

make strides in increasing hunting, fishing and trapping opportunities in

New Jersey.

Although Dieter’s primary passion is hunting elk, he also gets great

satisfaction from helping other hunters, especially those new to the

sport. He also enjoys pursuing mule deer, whitetails, blacktail deer,

moose, black bear, turkeys and waterfowl whenever he gets the chance.

Dieter is also an expert predator hunter and caller.

“Throughout the years I have called in and killed dozens of

coyotes and bobcats”, said Dieter. “To me predator hunting is

a necessary part of hunting and helps keep deer, antelope and

elk herds strong and healthy by helping to increase fawn/calf

survival rates to sustain or increase their populations.”

Dieter will be featured on the “Operation Predator” video series from

Hunter’s Specialties, hunting in various locations across the Western

United States.

Dieter has been involved in the elk hunting, calling and call development

industry since 1985. He will bring his wealth of knowledge and

experience to Hunter’s Specialties as he helps to develop and promote

new and existing products.

“I’m excited to be a part of the Hunter’s Specialties family”,

said Kaboth. “I’m looking forward to helping promote both

Wayne Carlton’s Calls and Johnny Stewart Wildlife Calls,

looking for ways to make improvements and additions to

such great product lines, along with the chance to share the

knowledge I have gained chasing elk and predators

throughout the west”.

Second AmendmentFoundation Sues Eric Holder &FBI Over Misdemeanor GunRights DenialOCT 14, 2010 04:05P.M.

Second Amendment Foundation Sues Eric Holder & FBI Over

Misdemeanor Gun Rights Denial

Second Amendment Foundation

BELLEVUE, WA --(Ammoland.com)- Acting on behalf of a Georgia

resident and honorably discharged Vietnam War veteran, the Second

Amendment Foundation today filed a lawsuit against Attorney General

Eric Holder and the Federal Bureau of Investigation over enforcement of

a federal statute that can deny gun rights to someone with a simple

misdemeanor conviction on his record.

The lawsuit was filed in United States District Court for the District of

Columbia. SAF and co-plaintiff Jefferson Wayne Schrader of Cleveland,

GA are represented by attorney Alan Gura, who successfully argued both

the Heller and McDonald cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.

In July 1968, Schrader, then 21, was found guilty of misdemeanor assault

and battery relating to a fight involving a man who had previously

assaulted him in Annapolis, MD. The altercation was observed by a

police officer, who arrested Schrader, then an enlisted man in the Navy,

stationed in Annapolis. The man he fought with was in a street gang that

had attacked him for entering their “territory,” according to the

complaint.

Schrader was ordered to pay a $100 fine and $9 court cost. He

subsequently served a tour of duty in Vietnam and was eventually

honorably discharged. However, in 2008 and again in 2009, Mr.

Schrader was denied the opportunity to receive a shotgun as a gift, or to

purchase a handgun for personal protection. He was advised by the FBI

to dispose of or surrender any firearms he might have or face criminal

prosecution.

“Schrader’s dilemma,” explained SAF Executive Vice

President Alan Gottlieb, “is that until recently, Maryland law

did not set forth a maximum sentence for the crime of

misdemeanor assault. Because of that, he is now being

treated like a felon and his gun rights have been denied.

“No fair-minded person can tolerate gun control laws being

applied this way,” he added. “Mr. Schrader’s case is a great

example of why gun owners cannot trust government

bureaucrats to enforce gun laws.”

The Second Amendment Foundation (www.saf.org) is the nation’s oldest

and largest tax-exempt education, research, publishing and legal action

group focusing on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own

and possess firearms. Founded in 1974, The Foundation has grown to

more than 650,000 members and supporters and conducts many

programs designed to better inform the public about the consequences of

gun control. SAF has previously funded successful firearms-related suits

against the cities of Los Angeles; New Haven, CT; and San Francisco on

behalf of American gun owners, a lawsuit against the cities suing gun

makers and an amicus brief and fund for the Emerson case holding the

Second Amendment as an individual right.

NRA’s Eddie Eagle GunSafeProgram Reaches 24 MillionthChildOCT 14, 2010 03:41P.M.

NRA’s Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program Reaches 24 Millionth

Child

National Rifle Association

Charlotte, NC --(Ammoland.com)- The Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program,

NRA’s groundbreaking gun accident prevention course for children, has

surpassed yet another milestone by reaching its 24 millionth child.

Created in 1988 by past NRA President Marion P. Hammer, in

consultation with elementary school teachers, law enforcement officers,

and child psychologists, the program provides pre-K through the third

grade children with simple, effective rules to follow should they

encounter a firearm in an unsupervised setting: “If you see a gun:

STOP! Don’t Touch. Leave the Area. Tell an Adult.”

“This is one of the NRA’s most successful and long-running

programs, because it works,” said Kayne Robinson, NRA

Executive Director of General Operations.

Volunteers for the Eddie Eagle program might come from diverse

backgrounds, but they share a commitment to protecting children from

gun accidents. Those involved include teachers, NRA members, law

enforcement officers, and community activists who teach the program,

as well as private donors and Friends of NRA participants who raise

funds to pay for the program’s educational materials.

More than 26,000 educators, law enforcement agencies, and civic

organizations have taught the program since 1988.

“The Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program continues to receive

outstanding feedback from program users and parents,” said

Eric Lipp, Program Manager of the Eddie Eagle GunSafe

Program. “I am tremendously happy to be able to say that

Eddie Eagle has now reached over 24 million children with

his life saving message.”

Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program

Law enforcement’s partnership with Eddie Eagle has proven to be very

effective. Along with schools and libraries, law enforcement agencies are

one of the few groups allowed to purchase an Eddie Eagle mascot

costume. NRA also offers free Eddie Eagle materials to any law

enforcement agency, hospital, or educational facility across the nation.

To receive these free materials, or to purchase an Eddie Eagle costume,

please contact the Eddie Eagle Department at 800-231-0752.

The Eddie Eagle program has been praised by numerous groups and

elected officials, including the Association of American Educators, the

Youth Activities Division of the National Safety Council, the National

Sheriffs’ Association, the U.S. Department of Justice (through its Office

of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency), and 26 state governors.

Funds raised through Friends of NRA and distributed through The NRA

Foundation (www.nrafoundation.org) enable budget-strapped schools

and police departments to teach the program at minimal or no cost. The

NRA encourages citizens nationwide to participate in heightening gun

accident prevention awareness within their local communities. Schools,

law enforcement agencies, civic groups, and others interested in more

information about The Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program, or persons who

wish to see if free materials are available in their communities, should

call the Eddie Eagle Department at (800) 231-0752 or visit

www.nrahq.org/safety/eddie/.

About:

Michigan --(Ammoland.com)- The iconic M1 Garand isn’t the only

semi-automatic rifle used by combat troops in WWII.

Marine officer Melvin Johnson began work on what came to be known as

the Johnson M1941 in 1935.

At the time, the army was convinced that the M1 was the rifle of the

future and some have speculated that when Johnson’s rifle was tested

against the M1, the deck was stacked against him. But the Marine Corp

wasn’t convinced by the Army’s praise for the M1.

By 1940, a controversy grew between those who supported the M1

Garand and the Johnson Rifle. The press got involved and in February of

1940 the Washington Evening Star ran a series of articles entitled,

“Battle Efficiency of Garand Rifle Provokes Controversy.” At the same

time, the Rifleman published some articles that cast the Johnson Rifle in

a favorable light. Life magazine called the Garand-Johnson battle “one of

the greatest military squabbles in U.S. history.”

In the end, the Garand won out. Both rifles fired the same .30-06

cartridge and performed similarly in extensive testing. The Johnson has

the advantage of having a 10 round built-in cylindrical magazine,

compared to the Garand’s 8 round magazine. But the Johnson used the

energy from recoil to eject and insert a new round. As the bullet and

propellant gases moved down the barrel, they imparted a force on the

bolt head that was locked to the barrel. The barrel, together with the bolt,

moved a short distance rearward until the bullet left and the barrel and

pressure in the bore had dropped to a safe level. When a standard

bayonet was attached, the rifle became unbalanced and could easily

malfunction. Because of this, and the fact that the M1 was already in

production, Johnson’s design was rejected.

But he didn’t give up. By early 1941 he had completed refinements to the

rifle and advertised the M1941 to other countries. The Netherlands

orderd 70,000 of Johnson’s rifles to be used by troops defending the

Dutch East Indies. The Japanese had their own plans for the East Indies

and only a few thousand were delivered to the Dutch government in

exile.

With America’s entry into WWII, the entire military was woefully short

of weapons. At the time, the main battle rifle for the Marine Corp was the

bolt-action Springfield. Most of the M1 Garands in stock were being

procured by the Army, so the Corp looked to the Johnson to fill the gap.

The newly formed Marine First Parachute Battalion was supplied with

enough Johnson rifles to equip the unit prior to its deployment to the

Solomons in 1942. As M1s became available, the Johnson was rotated

out of active service.

The Office of Strategic Service used the Johnson in some clandestine

mission into enemy territory. It has also been reported that the famous

First Special Service Force, the ‘Devil’s Brigade’, used the Johnson rifle.

And while the Johnson was rotated out of service in the U.S. military as

quickly as possible, the M1941 did see action in the 1961 Bay of Pigs

invasion.

Approximately 70,000 M1941’s were produced during WWII. After the

war, Johnsons were sold to civilians and ads for them ran until the mid-

1960s when supply finally ran out.

Identifying an original M1941 is easy. The top of the receiver of

the M1941 Johnson was marked:

• Cal. 30-06 Semi-Auto

• Johnson Automatics

• Model of 1941

• Made in Providence, R.I., U.S.A.

• Serial #

The right of the receiver was marked “Cranston Arms Co.” enclosed in a

triangle. The Johnson rifles were serially numbered in blocks up to

10,000. The first block ran from 1 to 10,000. The second block had a B

prefix, the third a C and son on. So, a Johnson rifle with the serial

number B3345 was the 13,345th rifle produced. Records don’t indicate

which batch of rifles were issued to the Marine Corp.

1. Collectors who are interested in getting a M1941 Johnson in

original military configuration should look at six things:

2. All exterior metal surfaces are parkerized except for the bright

finished bolt.

3. The front of the barrel collar was marked “30-06” in the 12 o’clock

position and “41” in the six o’clock position. There were some

Johnson barrels made in .270 and 7mm caliber, but these were not

used in the U.S. military service.

4. The buttplate was checkered metal with no recoil pad

5. The adjustable rear site was graduated for meters, not yards.

6. The stock was plain and unadorned with no checkering or other

embellishments.

7. The barrel should have a bayonet lug.

“T-Bone brings that ‘Brotherhood of the Bone Collector’

attitude to Ohio,” said Malloy, “which fits in perfectly with

Buckeye sportsmen. I’m really looking forward to sharing a

great night with the best deer hunters in the world. We’re in

the heart of Ohio’s hunting heritage, and T-Bone is traveling

a long way to share his hunting stories from years of

Argentina Dove Hunting – Doyou Have What It TakesOCT 14, 2010 01:59P.M.

Argentina Dove Hunting – Do you Have What It Takes

Presented by Cheyenne Ridge

Argentina Dove Hunting - Do you Have What It Takes

Sporting Classics Magazine

Columbia, SC --(AmmoLand.com)- Down at the Plaza de Mayo, the

Argentines are beating each other with sticks.

The Peronists have stormed their own headquarters and will not come

out until they call a bomb threat on themselves.

We are a couple of miles away at El Aeroparque Jorge Newberry, and the

pilots are on strike.

Argentine pilots have not been paid in two weeks, but we are flying LAN

Chile. There is no great love lost between the nations. Argentines tell you

they are the steak and Chile is the bone for the dogs. If I told you what

the Chileans say about Argentines, they would not print it here. So LAN

will keep flying, but late. Instead of shooting birds in Cordoba, we are

wishing it wasn’t too early for Senor Jack Daniels.

Me and Claudette, my second trip, her third. Two hours later there is a

stirring at the gate, an Airbus making ready to load. No jetway here,

downstairs, across the tarmac and up a ladder. The guncase goes up the

conveyor and thumps into the cargo bay.

Bringing your guns to Argentina? Not for the harried, hurried or the

faint of heart. You send your outfitter the numbers six weeks in advance

and he generates the papers on his end. Somebody meets you at the gate

and escorts you to an office where special police check serial numbers

and collect a hundred bucks a gun, more if they feel like it. A deal if you

figure it by the page, the artistic flaring fancy wristwork in stamp, stamp,

stamping each individual sheet half a dozen times. Argentines, weary of

coups and threats of coups, keep a close eye on guns coming into the

country.

We have a side-by-side and an over-under, two high-grade Merkel 20s.

Merkel was among the German gunmakers who wound up on the wrong

side of the Iron Curtain. The Reds consolidated all the companies into

one grand firearms collective to make shotguns for high-rolling Comrade

Commissars. When the wall came down, Merkel reorganized and moved

into the western market. And that’s where we come in. We’re taking

Merkels to a land where Benellis and Berettas rule. We will see how they

hold up.

But we have to get there first. A bus from the estancia meets us at the

Cordoba airport. We are late, but earlier than the sole Argentine flight,

which delivers a contingent of Texans.

“What yall got in the box?” one wants to know.

“Merkels,” I say.

“Myrtles?”

This country looks like eastern Montana, broad flat fields, checker-

boarded by fence-rows and hedgerows with a line of ragged blue hills in

the distance, but the cowboys hanging around the crossroad cantinas

wear berets, not Stetsons.

One town short, there is a barricade of tires, pallets and sections of drag-

harrow, teeth up. Dour campesinos are standing around with sticks.

“Do not worry, senores,” the driver says, “it is only the farm

protest.”

The campesinos thrust leaflets through the windows, wave us on.

We arrive at Estancia Los Chanares in time for lunch. Lunch is a serious

undertaking in Argentina and will burn up about two hours. Fresh bread,

an extravagance of salad, potatoes, steaks, ribs, dove breasts, wine, wine,

wine and finally homemade ice cream and fruit cobbler. We waddle from

the table and get introduced around.

Alex, a Columbian and lifelong hunting guide, runs the lodge. His wife,

Jessica, a veteran restauranteur from Buenos Aries, runs the kitchen.

Martin organizes the shoots, ramrods the bird boys and fixes the guns

when they need fixing, which is more often than you might expect.

Most estancias offer shooting wintertimes to help spread out the pesos –

and to thin flocks that can easily flatten a grainfield in an afternoon. But

Estancia los Chanares manages crops for the birds, instead. The lodge is

grand enough for any exiled ex-presidente, white stucco, fireplaces

everywhere, formal gardens, swimming pool, red tile roof and red tile

floors. The fields are angular and irregular, troublesome for agriculture

but perfect for food plots. All around are rotten stone hills of

impenetrable thornbushes – chanares – hence the name of this distant,

obscure and excellent place.

We meet our bird boys at the first stop, Hugo and Juan, brothers in their

early 20s, swarthy, beady-eyed and diligent. Two cases of shells, two

field-seats, two coolers of water and Quilmes, the favored local brew,

feed sacks for the birds and the empty shells.

They lead us to a makeshift blind strung between two thorn trees. They

break out the shells – Orbeas made right up the road in Tucuman – and

we break out the guns. Hugo and Juan tip boxes and the shells rattle into

our vest pockets.

I learn a lot that day. You can only shoot one bird at a time. A ventilated

rib is a radiator. Your gun will cool faster open and propped vertically

against a convenient tree. Finally, don’t forget your shooting gloves.

Splat – blood across my glasses. The new checkering has worn the hide

right off my thumb.

“You boys got any band aids?”

“No, senor, but Martin will have them when he brings more

shells.”

“More shells?”

“Si, senor, these two cases will not last you so long.”

Winter daylight comes late in these latitudes. Reveille at eight, a

bounteous breakfast at 8:30. Alex and I linger over coffee.

“How many birds do you have?”

He smiles. “Twenty millions? Forty millions? Who knows?

We have the largest dove roost in all of Argentina.”

We ride to the morning shoot with a new arrival, Harvey Alexander from

London. He’s ecstatic.

“I can fly first class from London to Buenos Aires and shoot

here for less than it costs me to shoot driven grouse in

England!”

We find Hugo and Juan on a foot-trail atop the brow of a long hogback

ridge. There is a brightening field on one side, thornbush tangle on the

other. After the pickup rattles away we notice a sound persistent as

distant surf, as if the earth itself is breathing. Millions upon countless

millions of doves are cooing up the morning. Already the air is full of

them and the green hills echo with the crackle of gunfire.

But how many doves can a man shoot? How many birds does a man

want to shoot? Last year another Texan tried to figure it out. He shot

6,016 doves in 11 hours using three extended magazine Benellis. He kept

three bird boys busy, two loading, one counting. Not sure of his shell bill,

his hospital bill either.

A couple of hours into it, Claudette cusses. A fine screw in the forend

hardware has worked itself loose.

“Y’all got a screwdriver?”

“No, senor, Martin will bring when he brings more shells.”

I sit crosslegged in tall grass and pull the forearm off the gun. The screw

retains a cam that cocks the top barrel ejector.

“If we can’t get us a screwdriver, we won’t need more shells.”

“No problemo, senor,” Hugo says and pulls a battered jack

knife from his jeans.

I baby the screw with a thumbnail instead. My nail splits, but the gun

will shoot.

We break for lunch, I peel the forend again and pass it to Martin. He

returns it with ceremonial flourish right at the table, along with an

eyeglass screwdriver, custom ground to fit the fine Merkel screw. Back in

business, for awhile anyway.

A couple dozen boxes into the afternoon shoot, the double bellers and

slaps my already pulverized shoulder twice as hard as expected. I reckon

somebody in Tucuman got careless with his powder dipper. Juan comes

to my side, looks over my battered shoulder as I puzzle over the gun.

“It has fired twice, senor.”

He’s right. “Martin!”

On our way out of the fields, we pick up one of the Texans holding what’s

left of a semi-auto. The receiver literally fell apart in his hands.

“I was hoping to shoot a thousand birds today,” he bemoans,

“but damnit, all I got was seven-fifty.”

Nothing serious. An aluminum receiver with egged-out holes. The pins

that secure the trigger group fell into the thorn tree leaves. Martin has a

zip-lock of them back at the estancia.

I quiz Martin. “How many rounds been through that gun?”

He shrugs. “In two years, maybe fifty thousand.”

“Fifty thousand? How do your over-unders stand up?”

“They break hammers around sixty thousand. I can adjust

them, but then they break springs.”

“What’s the absolutely toughest gun?”

“The Browning Citori, senor. But the firing pins erode . . .”

Clang, clang, bang. A wind is roaring down the Andes and every rattly

piece of metal, every gate, every loose board for a hundred miles is

picking up the lunatic rhythm. Clang, clang, clang. I ease out of bed and

pad down to the great room looking for coffee. Harvey Alexander, the

wandering Britt, is hooked over a Cuban cigar and his cell phone. The

cigar works, the phone doesn’t.

I leave my doubling Merkel on the gunrack and hornswoggle Martin out

of one of the house guns, a Beretta Silver Pigeon 28. It’s only a year old,

the checkering has worn right off the stock, but it functions flawlessly.

And Brothers and Sisters, I am here to testify that you can kill the hell

out of doves with a 28. I drop the first 16 straight. I tell you this not to

brag, but only so you can share my astonishment. Forty yards, sixty

yards, doesn’t matter. Deadly beyond belief.

Claudette is shooting the Merkel over-under and besides having to keep

after the troublesome screw, she is dropping birds left and right. But the

wind is still ripping. We are shooting from a hole hacked out of the

thornbushes halfway down a steep ridge. Birds careening downwind are

just an impossible blur. Upwind it’s a little better. Upwind or down, the

birds can’t see us until they are right on top of us. But we can’t see them

either and have only about two seconds to mount, swing and fire.

Maybe you never reckoned wingshooting an

endurance sport, but here in Argentina it is. Three

days and it shows.

Poor us, too tired to shoot anymore. We let the guns cool down one last

time, crack a Quilmes. Back at the estancia, they have a fire roaring in

the outside pit and the liquor is going down.

“The girls are coming out from Cordoba,” Alex announces.

“Who wants a massage?”

Eighteen hands in the air.

The bus is idling in the driveway. We powwow with Alex and settle our

shell bill, painful at ten bucks a box. That’s the way they do it down here,

turn you loose in a blizzard of birds and keep careful count. Between the

two of us, we have downed a thousand birds, an affront, an insult, a

mockery. But Alex acknowledges our sensibilities.

“We have a couple from Sweden who come every year. They

enjoy themselves but will only shoot five hundred birds

each,” he pauses, then adds, “a day.”

Halfway to the airport, there is a monumental jam of trucks and cars and

buses. The campesinos are still at it. Our driver hooks a hard right and

takes us cross-country. After three or four miles eating dust, we are clear

of the campesinos and on the main road again.

Back at our Buenos Aires hotel we are met by a harried bell captain who

passes us a printed notice:

“There are some issues of local concern that have prompted

rallies at the Plaza de Mayo . . . ”

We wake next morning to a rumble as pervasive as ten million doves

cooing, heady as a wind coming off the Andes. Fifty thousand

campesinos have bolted the pampas and are heading to the Plaza de

Mayo. Busloads after countless busloads. Musicians on the back of

flatbed field trucks. Funky little Fiat sedans with blaring loudspeakers

big as the cars. Meanwhile, the government has laid off their legions of

clerks, paid them 200 pesos each to go protest the protesters.

Claudette considers the proceedings and then glances at the clock.

“We have a couple of hours to kill. Let’s slip off to some

sidewalk cafe and get us one good last meal before things bust

loose.”

Just a snack, a dozen poached shrimp on a bed of lettuce, tomatoes and

avocadoes, home-baked bread and the obligatory local wine. Then a

series of low concussive thumps comes rolling over the rooftops.

“Hey waiter, what’s all the racket?”

He wrings his hands, mops his brow and looks uneasily off into middle

distance.

“Please do not worry, senor. It is only the tear gas bombs.”

Ah Argentina, I have what it takes to love you, a little money, a little

Spanish, a little patience, and a great sense of humor . . .

Editor’s Note: Roger Pinckney happily reports a drop of

lock-tight fixed the over-under and there was nothing at all

wrong with the side-by-side. His hand was so swollen, it

crowded the selector button to middle position allowing both

barrels to fire simultaneously.
