Great Grandad's not-so-long-lost Luger

[lugerholsterrepair]

Rob, Having been bitten by a six and a half foot diamond back rattler,13 rattles, I can attest to their speed but many animals here in the desert are faster, killing this great snake for fun and food. The lynx commonly kills them just for the hell of it. The roadrunner kills them for food.

I must tell you that is not cheap to get bitten, cost me about $50,000 and two surgeries.

I also do not recommend killing them either as they are an important link in the ecological chain. Simply back away and they will leave you alone. Here in AZ they are an endangered species and it is illegal to kill one.

When I was getting surgery on my hand my Dr. told me she treated many more gunshot victims than snake bites because the snake shooter would draw his weapon in an excited manner and shoot himself accidently. She said many of these idiots were shot in the groin area from carrying or replacing a pistol in the front of the belt. OUCH!

As for the story, it is a good one and you must tell it to any and all....Jerry Burney
