Our junior high annual has a picture of the Rifle Club and they are all standing there outside the cafeteria with a few guns (mostly .22’s) in the picture on school grounds.

Yes, our picture was in the annual. Our instructor was my Biology teacher and a former Marine and we used surplus Marine grade .22s that weighed about 14 pounds. So we learned right. And if we broke even the smallest safety rule, he was on us like...well...a Marine. LOL!

Can’t do that anymore because of inner city minorities. They WILL shoot you even if surrounded by 20 armed cops.

I rode my Stingray bike with ape hangers downtown to Sears when I was 12 yo. I bought a Russian 7.62x51 and a box of shells for $12. I rode home across downtown with it across my handlebars. Nobody said a peep. Course that was in 1963.

Man I miss that country. Can you remember "The USA"?

I'm glad my dad didn't have to watch this.
