A Thompson? Man, you should see the smile on my face! Extra KEWL!! And I thought I'd be lucky to find some old US coins in the souks.

Although not exactly a REMP this time, I'm still supposed to be a non-combatant. Thus the civvies and steel plates. Trust me, safety is my middle name!

[Squantos]

Yep .....EOD work was like that .. Folks expect ya to get rid of dangerous stuff for em. I just didn't do it too quickly......:o)

Stay Safe !

You can tell the difference between gin and piss? You are a better man than I.

I was carrying a .22 rifle at about eight years old hunting rabbits and snakes, but when I was a little bitty tyke I saw my dad kill hogs with that same .22 rifle before he cut their throat for slaughter.
I knew if that .22 would kill a hog it would kill me or anyone else.
Kids don't have an opportunity to see stuff like that nowdays.
All they see is a tiny hole in a piece of paper, and that's not real impressive.

I take the opposite view of most parents today.
I think a .22 should come after the child is older and understands the danger of that little bullet.
All kids are different, but the rule of thumb I used with my kids was to get them the biggest gun at the youngest age they could shoot it.

I agree that a bb gun and a pellet gun are perfect for training for the first rifle, and they don't present the danger to them or others that a .22 would.

My lil brother at age 8 got a free lesson once when he was "hunting " with my Dad and I . He had his Daisy Red Ryder and we were hunting quail (bird, not the brit kind :o) and he accidently shot our Black Lab in the butt. Dog about ate him up before my Dad could kick it away from him. I was laughing so hard I was crying and rollin around the ground and Suzy our Lab wasn't happy.

Dad told my brother he just got a legal lesson in ass whuppin from a puppy for being dog dumb with his gun. To this day my little brother has scars on him from that hunting trip........:o)

Stay Safe !

[Eaker]
