A person's character is decided by many things. Some of those things are how you treat people, how you act, the things you do, your honesty, and your values. One of the big things that shows what kind of person you are is how you deal with your mistakes.
Everyone makes mistakes at one time or another in their lives. It takes a good person to admit that they were wrong, and publicly state it. Over the 60 plus years that I have been shooting, collecting and involved with firearms and the firearms community, I have found that most of the people who enjoy our sport and hobby are good people. The ones that are the "square pegs" in the round holes are weeded out by their own reputation.
To the OP, CANUCK1978, I would say "well done." By doing the right thing, you have enhanced your reputation on this Website.
To TICKETED, I would say that the Member has had enough comments and feels bad enough about what happened. Personally, I think your post Number 4 in this Thread, is not in the best taste. Imagine yourself in his place, and how he feels.
