Born in 1917, my mother rode a horse to school in Medina, Ohio. She said it was normal that boys road in with a rifle in their saddle holster. The guns sat outside with the horses all day while the boys were in school. The boys would then hunt dinner on their ride home.

Boys and men are being kept at a lower maturity by our new social masters. In the Civil War boys as young as six went into battle or became breadwinners for the family while dad fought.

We have this in us, yet people are children by law up to 26; the age where your parents can finally stop paying your insurance. What have we become? Where will it end?

I frequently had a rifle or other gun in my car in high school, the school had no policies regarding such things back then.

Personally speaking.......I think the ruling to allow parents to keep their kids on their insurance up to the age of 26...if they are going to school is a good thing. And makes sense. I don't think you can claim them..if they aren't going to school.

My youngest is still on my insurance..and is just about to finish college. She's 24.......

Her husband to be is 26...and has another 6-8 years of training. ( Ortho Surgeon ) Not sure how they plan to cover themselves...during those years. I figure my girl can land a FT job...with health insurance...and cover them both.

We shall see
