I know thismight beslightly off the subject but it sure points out
how things have changed...
Thirty years ago I had a pickup truck with an extended cab
I had mounted a gun rack right below the window and carried a 22 rifle
and a fishing pole in it..
I was pulled over for speeding and as I handedover mylicense to the Cop
I pointed out to him that I had a rifle behind my seat...
He took one look and all he said was..........
" Ok don't shoot me in the back"he then turned andwalked back to his patrol carand wrote outthe ticket
Nothing more was eversaid about it..........
Like I said things sure have changed.........
When I was in 7th grade ( 1967 )a friend of mine worked all summer in an Eastern Or. Hayfield and saved
up his money for a Remington 700 bdl..
When school started thatwinter he brought it and half a dozen rounds in for show & tell..
The teachers didn't evacuate the school or call the police , he justgave his report about his newpride & joy
then took it to the principles office for safe keeping, after school he picked it up , threw it over
his shoulder and walked home with it.............
I sure miss the old days.......................
