This may be a stupid question, but what is the significance of the shotgun?

Is it related to what you did in the Navy, or just a really kick ass gift?

"A fine sword…a brace of pistols…a rifle or musket…or maybe a sea chest of fine wood and bound in brass…was presented to remind the retiree of crews and ships he had served with."

I was several ships lead armorer and several ships small arms instructor. That, and I just love guns and my friends knew it. :beer:

Thanks..it's been an adventure to say the least! I feel sorry for people that have never left their state. I have family in Tenn that have never seen the ocean much less been to other countries. Yet, they and people like them sure do have a lot of opinions!
