    It must have been the guns that were sexy.

    I bought my third gun when I realized I wanted something a little more compact. It was a Colt .45 caliber.

    I ended up selling the first two guns and keeping the Colt. Back in the day, we would go out to the Everglades and shoot bottles. We would also go to the shooting range.

    I left the gun behind when I went to Europe, but had it with me when I lived in Arizona, New Mexico and California. It may even been illegal in California. Not really sure.

    When I returned to Miami, I bought a Beretta 9-millimeter because I wanted something lighter and more compact than the Colt .45.

    At one point a few years ago, I was going to apply for my concealed weapons permit, but then I got arrested for taking pictures of cops and my life took a whole new turn.

    Even though I don't carry the guns around and I live in a secure building, I keep them around because things can get chaotic after a hurricane when it becomes every man for himself.
    Arrested for taking pictures of cops? That makes no sense, there is no chargable offense for photographing an office in a public place. I have taken pictures of street photographs in miami and things going on and some pictures included stuff going on with cops, there were fine with it did not care.
