As I've indicated before, this issue does not particularly interest me, but I can give a small tidbit that may be on kelley's side. Back in '69 when my house had been stoned several times and I had received death threats, I decided that while I wouldn't buy a gun right away, I would register as a gun owner (required in Illinois) so I could get one quickly if I changed my mind. About a week later I received an anonymous threat featuring a statement to the effect that I had delayed too long in registering. Leakage someplace???
