If Classic Cowboy allowed .38’s we’d get a lot more people shooting that category. Just sayin’………I would most likely do it myself. I would keep the hammer shotgun and 87’s though. Good excuse for me to buy a hammer shotgun 😂😂🤣

I used to have my packages delivered to the back door, now Amazon changed its policy. It will no longer deliver to the back door. Front door or nothing. Luckily I don’t get many packages.
