#7  I'll just bet you that .45 was loaded. Reagan saying what he did, was his way of taking the "edge" off the hero thing, turning it into a laugh.

#6  Damn--good story, but he got lucky. Pulling out a gun that's empty is not a smart bluff. He could have cut his life by about 70 years and cost the world a great leader.

#5  He also worked as a lifeguard when he was yound and saved 77 people. BTW the river was a treacherous one so he needed more than just being a good swimmer.

#4  The core of Reagan the man was there from the beginning - he had something called values, and guts.
