I turned 18 before most of the current restrictions on firearms were passed so there wasn't much in that respect that was "liberating".

I remember in High School having a classmate bring a 1911 to school. Only thing he was told was "Make sure it's unloaded before you show it around". Rifles and shotguns were normal "decorations" in pickup trucks in the school parking lot and also, the trucks were UNLOCKED. It wasn't unusual to go to the local dump after class and shoot a few rats.

Drool..
