Charlie Huston, Sleepless“Pain cannot be ignored. However, it can be endured. When necessary, a great deal of pain can be endured. Just ask my mother.”
Charlie Huston, Sleepless“Not that I have any little kids running around I need to keep away from the guns. I had any kids I'd get rid of the guns. Nothing more dangerous to the life of a child than a house full of firearms. Nothing more dangerous except maybe a parent.”
