yeah, I used to have one. From there I graduated to a double barrel shot gun. If I was a kid now I would be locked up a child detention center and my folks would probably be locked up in jail for letting have it.

Well, lucky you. I graduated from a Daisy BB gun to a Winchester bolt action single shot .22 long rifle that my daddy gave me when I was 12. It was a rusty old thing that looked like it had been through the Civil War, but I was proud to own it. He taught me how to field-strip it and how to keep all the components clean and oiled. And he taught me how to use it by taking me hunting with him and my big brothers (I was the only girl, and I was the youngest).
Today that rifle is only good for taking out poisonous snakes and field rats, because you can only load one shot at a time. Now that I’m grown I own several far more expensive firearms. But I still own that little Winchester .22 rifle, and I cherish it above all the rest.
