RIP Bruce.
"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

We lost a good one here. Bruce was so helpful to me when I wanted to develop loads for a 416 Rigby. He had "been there and done that" on so many things. He will be missed. Rest in peace Bruce.
Mark 5:34 And He said to her (Jesus speaking), "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed of your affliction."
I learned this morning from Curmudgeon Bill of Bruce's passing. I have had the extreme privilege to share the fields and waters in the United States and Canada with Bruce and Bill, and the sadness felt by his passing is tempered with the many good memories of fishing, hunting, campsites shared, heat, wind, and cold endured, the fine shots taken and the tight lines well-fought. 'So long' for now, friend--I know you're just scouting ahead.
I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
Sad news, Bruce was one of the greatest people I have had the pleasure of meeting. He will be missed. JW

It is better to live one day as a LION than a dozen days as a Sheep.
Thomas Jefferson Quotations:
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
This is the saddest news I've heard all year.
Too bad his last years were so full of trouble. Bruce was a true hero and he told stories of amazing deeds from the first person perspective. I always hoped I could make it out west and meet him.
At least I know he went where I'm going, and "we'll be together again up yonder in a little while."
I'm overjoyed to know that right now he's got both his legs back and he's probably climbing a snow covered hill with a fine rifle on his back.
Good bye Bruce. The world will be a little less adventurous, and a little more ordinary for the duration.
Precision in the wrong place is only a placebo.
BruceB, you will be sorely missed. I'll meet you in the Bye and Bye, Over the Shore and On the Other Side.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
My condolences to his family. I wish I would have taken the time to meet him when I was in that part of the country.

RIP Bruce, you will be missed.

Always read his posts. Nice guy. Sorry to hear.
I never had the chance to meet him in person, but was always lifted emotionally by his posts and contributions.
What a great man. How many of us can honestly say that we have given much more than we have received.
RIP Bruce You are in the Lords arms now.

I had the privilege to see first hand, how Bruce's personality, and then trials and tribulations, brought a very fine group of men together.
I also got to see a few of those men show a selfless side, that we don't see too often anymore.
Bruce was a huge part of this group, and will leave a huge void with his passing.
Goodbye Bruce - we'll see you on the other side...
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." ...Unknown
He will be missed by many, my condolences to his friends and family.
Rest in peace.

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
Goodbye my friend until we meet again. May you walk without pain and may your smile grace the halls of heaven.

RIP and prayers for the family and close friends.
I am saddened. Bruce was a gentleman who gave of his time and experience freely, a truly great gift. He addressed others respectfully and seldom showed anger or displeasure. May God hold him in the palm of his hand.
