There was a local K-Mart that kept everything gun related locked up behind the counter. Even such dangerous items as cleaning patches and paper targets.
Must keep dangerous paper and flannel out of the hands of children.
Thinking back, I can remember my father and grandfather beginning to teach me the basics of manhood from very early on. I remember, from when I was about 4, my daddy telling me, in a low voice, "straighten up, walk like a man". It's all about a code of behavior and honor and it's out of style now. Metrosexual is in, and it seems that you can't trust them. They have no shame, no real pride, just flaming unearned egos. They will always be children.
I was in a 3 way partnership to buy and feed a Boyes antitank rifle. It made a .50BMG round look a little weak. We would take it way out in the boonies and shoot down small trees. The muzzle blast would throw a bucket of dirt in your face with every shot. The Boyes was banned in 68 unless converted to .50BMG. I think the one we had ended up in Castro’s hands after the Bay of Pigs.
