Default Dan Wesson trivia
When looking up some info on DW Cbob's, I came across this article. I had often wondered if Dan Wesson was related to the co-founder of Smith & Wesson and the answer is yes.

Quote:
Daniel B. Wesson II was the great-grandson of D.B. Wesson, co-founder with Horace Smith of the famous firearms manufacturer Smith & Wesson. In 1968, Daniel B. Wesson II set out to build an improved version of the double-action revolver. He utilized the unique, modular design of firearms inventor and former Dayton, OH police officer, Karl Lewis.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

I'd just figured they were from the same family but had never gotten around to check for sure. Glad to see my assumption was correct.
