57 on June 3rd & been a shooter for 50 yrs, bkz I learned from my dad. Yeah..dads lived at home back in the 1950s!
Funny, I grew up with at least six guns in open racks in my den. None of them ever got down and went out and shot up a school or anything... We didn't mess with 'em, bkz we knew how to shoot 'em and they were not curiosities..and we'd get our a$$es whipped big time IF we touched 'em without dad right there.
Carried a pocket knife to school for years..as did all my friends..nobody ever cut up anybody at the school either. Nobody had ADD either..if we had a problem paying attention, we got 3' of fargin OAK across our a$$es RFN! Nobody on drugs either. Public school in Memphis, TN..graduated 1962.
