    I don't own a gun, to my knowledge, no one in my family owns a gun. I have - on occasion - fired a few (oddly, none when I was...

    I wasn't degrading Aiki-web, or that wasn't my intention... There is a different 'flavor' in each. For "non-aikido" related topics, I have enjoyed e-Budo, perhaps because I found it first, or...
