How did this great thread get killed off? It's usually Francis Morin that kills a Parker thread, but he was well behaved this time. Who knows what happened to Francis? I kind of miss him.

When one’s own family says their loved one had “a unique sense of humor” - it’s always the polite thing to say.

Thank you so much for that obituary. Francis was right up there with Ed Muderlak as a professional curmudgeon on the gun websites, especially ours. I invited him to visit me many times, but he never took me up on it, even though he had relatives just a few miles from me. We sparred for years, but reached a bit of a truce in the final years. He hated the PGCA, but he wasn't alone in that feeling. Rest in peace, Francis.

The Great "Runs At The Mouth" is dead.
Tragic I wonder what will happen to his great great grandpappy's matched pair of A1 Specials that in later years became an A Grade and a D grade then went down to "I don't know what you're talking about" whenever you asked abou them.

He always claimed to have sold the AA Grade. Didn't you have some visits with him or am I mistaken?

I shot at a tower shoot he attended once. He literally didn't stop talking even as he shot.

I never knew Francis “Drake” Morin but I’m appalled at how much everyone seems to be bashing him.
What was his user name on this forum? I don’t see how anyone who supports the second amendment and shares an enthusiasm for double barreled shotguns could be such an awful person? |

What I'm wondering is HOW did a thread from about 14 (FOURTEEN) years ago get resurrected?
