[The  reason  for  including  net.politics  should  be  obvious;  it's  only
incidentally in that group...]

I'm putting out a little feeler into the net to see if there might be enough
interest  out  there  to support a mailing list  for  people  interested  in
firearms.  Specifically,  I'm   thinking  of  a  semi-technical  list,  with
discussions  on  places to shoot, maintenance suggestions, issues  of  legal
significance,  favorite  firearms,   known  problems  with  some  particular
firearm, or whatever else one might want to discuss in this general category.

I'm suggesting it as a mailing list  for  the time being because, although I
think there's substantial interest out there, I doubt that it's large enough
to support a newsgroup of its  own.  If interest  grows  substantially, that
might change.

So: if you're  interested  in  something along  these  lines,  please MAIL a
response  to  me  (that's  a "reply" [r] command,  not  a  "followup"  [f/F]
command), and we'll see how this develops.  Again, **MAIL ONLY PLEASE.**

Also, please note that my  best  address  for mail is cbrma!kk, which can be
reached via ihnp4 or cbosgd.
