Grew up in the Bronx to Davy Crockett and Wyatt and Hickock and all the tv westerns. Dad had been a WW 2 marine and was NYPD. He help me feed my need for all things Guns.
Sorry NY Slimes. I had other friends growing up in NYC who we’re gun aficionados. Not as much as country boys but we were a definite presence.
I recall reading a piece from John Lott a few years ago in which he discussed that until about the early 1970s, many public high schools in New York City had rifle/shooting clubs for students. Typically, the head of the Phys Ed department was in charge of the club and kept the guns locked in a storage area right near his office. Do you have recollections of this?
