Step aside 007, you've got nothing on the Gipper for fighting the Cold War.

While so many of our current crop of D.C. nitwits (you listening, Uncle Barry?) are busy using Reagan's 100th birthday to compare themselves to him I may as well throw my own self in the mix.

I'm just like Reagan, too.

From Dutch by Edmund Morris:

It is a fact, however, that R R did acquire a 1934 Walther PPK .380 pocket-sized police pistol early in his stay in Des Moines and kept it lovingly the rest of his life. He even toted it in his briefcase as president. "A man should be able to defend himself". R R qu. in John Hutton Diary, JHP.

Well heck, I have three of them. Regular summer carry and for more discreet formal under the suit occassions.

Uncle Barry, you're no. . .well, you know the rest
