[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2121350, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Drudge linked to a story by the Washington Free Beacon in which was a link to an interview that Biden gave to Field and Stream. Allow me to first provide the quote in particular that the thread title relates to: "F&S: What about the other uses, for self-defense and target practice? V.P.
