My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

After "Old Abe" passed, he was preserved and on display at the Wisconsin State Museum. He was destroyed in a fire. Some feather only remained. Today on the news, it was announced that DNA testing on the feathers affirmed he was a male. Up to this time, his gender was unknown
