Makes me wonder how I ever grew up. As soon as I could crawl I was on the back porch playing with my Dad’s old rusty guns. My toys consisted of one little wooden truck and whatever was on the porch. My folks just assumed I knew how to use the guns and they never ever scolded me or otherwise got on my case about it. My Dad even made sure I had a few fired cartridge cases to play “load/unload” with. And I can only imagine how much fun would have been had if some quack had got on the folks’ case about how much firepower was in the house.

2. Seat Belts
3. Gun Control
Somehow we survived.
