I won't go into my wartime experiences but;

In Africa I used to sleep with a loaded .416 Remington Magnum. As a "sad and frightened little man", I had learned that lesson one night when a leopard stuck his head in the hut where I was sleeping.

This was in my pre-Buddhist days, back when I was hunting and shooting Cape buffalo and bull elephant and other dangerous game.

One of my Professional Hunters, instead of thinking of me as a "sad and frightened little man" was impressed enough with my demeanor when being charged by a wounded Cape buffalo or an enraged elephant, that he invited me on an "animal control" hunt for a lion that had escaped from Kruger National Park.

But I'm sure you are a much better judge of character (since you've never met me), then a man I hunted dangerous game with in two different African countries.
