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.

I used to live about 20 miles from Brookville. It was a center for gunmaking in that part of the state.

Brookville had several gunsmiths. John Showalter, Anthony Bonnet, Wm McCullough, Abraham Burkett etc
