Hell I mused to walk out of my house in the Germantown section of Phila at 17 with my 15 year old brother carrying a shotgun and walk two blocks to the trolley get on ride for 1/2 hour get off take a bus into Ambler PA and walk 1 mile to go hunting and NOBODY even gave a damn
That was back in 1953
People wouldn't believe that when I tell them that today
And the police didn't ear vests as a daily part of their uniform

When an elderly relative of mine was interviewed a few years ago by a high-school student, he was explaining how mumbledy-peg is played. He started with, "well, you take your pocket knife..." and I'm not sure who was more shocked--the kid, that my relative had carried a knife in school--or my relative, that any of the boys now don't carry a knife.

And the police didn't ear vests as a daily part of their uniform Police wear vests because it is known that they are an armed threat to any criminal they actually happen upon.
If the Police were unarmed, they wouldn't need vests.
