My brother just reminded me the other day on FB of himself and his friends riding their bikes out to the pastures to go rabbit hunting with the rifles slung across their handlebars.
My brother did get shot once with shotgun pellets when one of his buddies got too excited about seeing whatever it was they were hunting. But they were minor injuries and the other kid was mortified! [and probably grounded]
Yeah, we had several close calls ourselves. We still have most of our fingers and toes. When we were dove hunting, we would purposefully shoot our guns in the air and let the pellets rain down on us. Especially by a pond for effect.
It’s a bad idea, I think, to ever show yourself with a gun on Facebook or twitter. That will come back and haunt you. It doesn’t matter what you say today, tomorrow they’ll hunt you down.
Recently; at his high school reunion, Dick recalls the good, ol' days!
