@@abastard Define ‘bigger’. If you mean bore diameter, I have a .380 here. If you mean by propellant load I have a .303. And if I want to go Yankee I have an 1895 lever action Winchester. Satisfied?
Smokers should do what they want, but they should also be realistic about the doors that are closed to them without them even knowing. I just had a discussion with other business owners, and they took turns talking about ways to guarantee that they NEVER accidentally hire a smoker. They stink. They're unproductive. They're prone to illness. The true cost of smoking to your career is astounding.
