    You're allowed to block the road if you're wearing a "patch" apparently. Maybe we need some "I love tahr cunting" patches, and it'll be all legit.

    I found a new Savage MkII for $349 so will probably grab that next week on pay day.... Everything I've read about them seems to be exactly what I'm after. Good basic, reliable, accurate shooter....
