The good Dr. Drew hit it squarely on the head, liability insurance. The very reason so many of my OB-Gyn peers no longer do OB.(me too-'cept mine is Lyme disease complications). As I tried to explain, I chose to try to have my Damascus relined by Teague. That wasn't possible. Since the gun was already there and Jon Corner believes it will pass current British proof, I thought what the heck, can't hurt and if I resell the gun I'll recover the costs as it will have a modern proof. Regarding my choice to no shoot Damascus, I too have read most everything out there on Damascus, it is my personal belief that Murphy is alive and well. The Good Lord only issued me 10 fingers and 2 eyes and I choose not to tempt fate. What others choose is their decision. However I do not wish the liability issues to bite me in the derriere so I choose not to recommend shooting them unless they have an accepted/approved/recognized modern proof. This is an age old discussion which has strong voices on both sides. I can only speak for myself. Best, BILL
