A fine gesture indeed

and having met Dr. Prashant Singh and been at the receiving end of his
very gracious hospitality I am not surprised at all!
Cheers!

Wow! Shooter!
Man, you had me going as well... I thought "Oh No, Shooter has been drinking and...."
What a fine gesture by Prashant. It is heartening to know that such people exist in real life and not just in fiction.
It is indeed an honor to associate with a gentleman of his caliber.

Man, seriously, you gotta edit the heading or add something like "Read Full post before dropping to conclusions". Even reading only the first few lines would strengthen the wrong perception!!

I was very alarmed when I read the title. Shooter you shocker!
I am not surprised at Prashant's gesture and he chose well.Acts like these what help people retain their trust in humanity in this age.
Well done both of you.
And Jonah, does your benefactor has any other nice guns that he is willing to give away to a fellow in the Caucasus?

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

> Good heavens - when I tread the title It was as if I had taken "A straight left on to my jaw" - and the agony, anguish, disbelief that followed was palpable beyond belief.
> Wow! Then came the "Act of Generosity" and I would hasten to add the "Grand touch of Humility".
> Prashant - words just fail me to appreciate - what you have done. You have set an example far, far too high for anyone to emulate - Yug, Yug Jiyo!!!!
