If your life is on the line, you'll leave half of your finger in there and live to tell about it. Also, gloves man - you should be running them.
No doubt, but I don't think many folks are going to practice that.
All my gloves are pretty skimpy at the finger tips. I'd rather rip out the bench made 7 tool. Or just shoot an AK.
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
