Well.. I'm not quite old enough to have many recollections like that.. but I am old enough to see that you can no longer step out in your back yard in semi-urban America with a .22 or even a BB gun and not expect to get the police called on you. I find it quite pathetic actually..

However, I must give credit to neighborly homeowners to recognize that my family owns guns and that we occassionally shoot them to dispatch vermin in the yard.. WITHOUT having to explain it to the police.
