Mass., what can we say. When we were kids we had BB gun fights. Of course we wore sunglasses for safety so it was all cool. We did limit ourselves to Red Ryders which we had a lot of, and don’t shoot very hard at all.
I saw some stuff when I was a kid, and nobody was ever arrested.
Though there was this one time when my friend and I were out at 1AM, and were walking our friend home. He lived next to a store which had tools stolen from it a few times, because they were renovating it. We looked into it, said goodnight, then walked down the avenue. Lo and behold, some cop pulls up to us and yells at us to get on the wall.
The cop said the perps both looked like my friend, him tall, pasty white and lanky, me short with long hair and Hispanic features (yet I don’t look Hispanic at all). Turned out to be a non-issue.
Looking back, it’s a small wonder no one lost an eye or worse!
