[TheForge] coffee and guns

[Jerry Smith]

I don't want to be shot, but a 223 maybe more
survivable that a 12 gage with a deer slug.

Under federal regulation a primitive weapon like a BP
pistol or rifle is a not a real firearm, but they
still can do a lot of damage. It's those laws like
public endangerment and aggravated menacing that will
you trip up.

So lets heat it and beat it, it's now 19 degrees out
side and getting colder. A nice hot forge will help my
old bones.
