My great-grandfather Skinner, like his Skinner ancestors, was rather short. Indeed, when we went to visit our Skinner roots near Barnstaple in England, my wife had to put Post-It notes saying “Duck!” on all the door frames because I was too tall and kept bumping my forehead.

With a handgun, this guy hit the bad guy at 165 yards – four times! Look here.

It’s about two miles from where we live so I won’t have far to go. On the other hand, they charge a bunch just to come through the door, and then it’s all dealers with over-priced guns, ammo and accessories that will be selling. No walk-around sellers allowed.

I recently ordered a couple of [these](<http://bugasalt.com/). Shoots a pinch of table salt 3-5 feet to snuff household pests.

Note Added Later: My list of “direct books” is revised in a later post on this topic. Look here for that update.

To their credit, notice the trigger fingers of these two officers. They’re doing it right. Bravo!

Help me this day to become aware of the opportunities you put before me. Give me the strength to act upon them, the patience to see them through, and help me find the humility to accept your plan over mine.
