Chris called and we discussed what Parker stated and where the references are. Again I apologize to Mr Purtil for mistakingly directing my response to him instead of Chris. It won't happen again.
And with Mr Murphy, again I have no idea what he is talking about with some kind of a fictional "no delete" program. As for the name he calls me "Checkbook Bruce", if he is implying that I have paid fair market value for most of my Parkers, with the exception of two that I was given, yes that's what I have done. I've not taken advantage of anybody and I am fortunate to have friends who have offered me guns at reasonable values as I have done in turn to others. I don't see what's wrong with that, but I am looking at the world through my eyes. Out of all the Parkers I have acquired, only one has been on the open market. All others have come through friends and word of mouth. I doubt there are more than a few close friends who know what I have paid for any gun, and I sincerely doubt they have talked. I realize that some people get some sort of self verification or build themselves up in status if they can get something of value for almost nothing , to take advantage of somebody else, somebody who is foolish, or uneducated, or a widow soon after the death of her husband, or somebody down on their luck and desperate for cash. If by the nickname given me "Checkbook Bruce" it means that I don't do that, well I suppose I'll answer to that. Yes, I have a checkbook and have used it in the past to acquire a few nice guns at fair value.
