Its Friday lets talk about something fun. Grappling hooks. As a kid so much of my life was driven by a desire to get a real grappling hook, what I would do with a grappling hook, and how awesome my Batmanesque life would be with grappling hooks.

As a gun owner I live in constant dread that something that was legal yesterday will be made illegal today.
