A gun, perhaps, or maybe a crossbow, or even an industrial bottle of Mace the size of a fire extinguisher. We then headed out to lunch to reflect on our day as a group. One need not have psychic gifts to guess where the members of the gun club elected to go to fill their empty stomachs—yes, we feasted...
