In your day were kids running around with actual guns in their hands?
Today they are. The day when you and I could outside and play army or cops and robbers has passed.
We also can’t go to drive-ins and do a bunch of fun things we used to. Society has changed. It is not the police officers who caused that.
In the 1980s, I was walking my kids to school every day. I used to be able to walk by myself when I was a kid. It’s just the way the world is.
The kid appeared to have a gun. He pulled it out of his waist, and appeared ready to use it.
I would never have done that as a stupid kid. I don’t think you would have either.
I was walking around with a gun when I was eight years old. Its called hunting. Cops saw us all the time and never bothered to shoot us.
I got my own first gun at the age of twelve at Christmas, so to answer you-YES!
