Beginning when I was 11 I rode my bike all over the county with a .22 rifle or my shotgun, no one even noticed, it was common for kids to hunt alone. Hardware stores would even sell you just 3 or 4 shotgun shells if you couldn't afford a whole box.

Liberals keep telling me how much better they have made things, but I've yet to notice anything worth trading my freedom for.

When I was in high school in Georgia in the late 1970's it was common for guys to have their shotguns or deer rifles in their car or truck at school during deer season because a lot of guys would hunt before school. All the guys I went to school with carried pocket knives, too. Nowadays, try carrying a pocket knife to school and you'll wind up in jail. Carry a gun in your vehicle and they'll put you under the jail.....

Yeah, well, me too, in my misspent youth.

But I've been thinking about riding my motor scooter to the range with my AR slung over my back. My guess is I'd never make it to the range.

O'Bummer and Congress are trying to make this place into a 3rd world banana republic. We'd better get used to having some serious weaponry ready to hand.

Me too. I’d ride my bike about 5 miles to a stone quarry and practice on tin cans. Many people saw me and never thought anything of it.

We used to keep shotguns in our gym locker to go squirrel hunting after school.
