Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Incredible, isn't it? We owe so much to Wallace.

I suspect someone else may end up having to write that book using Wallace's data.   He has several filing cabinets full of photos and data sheets on VA, (WV, KY, TN) rifles.

Well great grandma Schreckengost said.  "thems's can do, thems's can't teach" so I guess Wallace is off doing rather than writing.

Couldn't find the Gusler rifle on that site, but the Martin Beck is really fine!
