As a comment to the above I remember Frank stating, as proof that he
did know something about guns that "I've shot a .22  a few times" and
now "a few times" has grown into " I have kept a gun in the house, not
one used for protection, but used for target shooting."

Now Frankie so often tells that he documents everything and provides
preferences? But no reference found for  keeping gun in his house.".

Strange how a gun in your pocket is cowardice and one in your house is
target practice?

Can he be lying?
