Okay, so concealing it is not that easy. Still, I love my new Crusader gun! Although our military never got around to actually making any operational models, the cancellation of the program resulted in a lot of designs and prints hitting the open market, and I was able to get one whipped up by overseas sweat shops in a tiny fraction of the time our military-industrial complex would have required.

Some of my close neighbors have been commenting on the new piece of artillery in my back yard (my interpretation of the Second Amendment allows this--after all, didn't all the Revolutionary soldiers each carry their own individual iron seige cannons around?) I don't know why they're worried...if I lower the elevation of the gun enough to shoot one of them, the end of the barrel is already in the next neighborhood.

They say that my enthusiasm for this weapon reflects poorly on my self-image. Dark hints of "compensation" for something have been aired.

I really have no idea what they're talking about...
