MADE IN BRAZIL I, Sharon, retired my gun over ten years ago. Sold it actually, for the same amount I paid for it. $100.00. I'm not a gun person. Nor was I ever comfortable with it. It took too much of my thinking space and since I didn't carry it with me, I wouldn't have the immediate access required should I need it. Crime usually happens quickly with little time to think. If I ever drew a gun, the intruder or perpetrator could probably grab it from me without much effort. I was curious, given that my father was a tool and process engineer for SAVAGE ARMS most of his life. My curiosity was satisfied. And that was the end of it. I do believe that people have the right to protect themselves from harm by bearing arms in a dangerous world. I'm just not that person who wants that responsibility. Not with a gun. I take other less risky precautions.
