I have this personal response for you which has little to do with this thread but it will reveal that I had to investigate this Satan's Doorknob who dared to acknowledge and respond to my unnecessary and vile yet coy and correct comment. I hit a squirrel once while driving a rental car during a leave from military service. I killed it dead, cried and buried it there at that desert highway rest area. Then later, upon returning to base, I signed out my rifle and tactically engaged in such responsibilities.
