The newest Carnival of Cordite is up and ready for your perusal. It is always worth your time.
Normally I don't bother to link to stuff I find through the Carnival since my own puny contribution to their traffic can't be all that much. But there is a post at Owen's Life that I think you should read. It seems that the author was lucky enough to be taking a pistol class at Gunsite when the recently deceased founder, Jeff Cooper, was laid to rest.
"The real highlight of the day was Jeff Copper's funeral. Jeff is now interred in a mausoleum on the grounds of Gunsite. As a Marine, he had a USMC honor guard, and a 21 gun salute. A few seconds after the final volley of the salute, every student in the school answered the salute by firing a full magazine into the backstop of whatever range they were on. I am glad I was able to be a part of that."
So the good Colonel was sent off to the sound of thunder. I can't think of a more fitting tribute than that.
