Arsenal in toybox

I grew-up during the '50's when Westerns on TV were at their peak. For birthdays and Christmas I always asked for toy guns.

I remember sleeping with a Winchester lever action that came with a bandolier. I also remember a bolt-action rifle, many six-shooters, and a Colt Detective Special with shoulder holster. My favorite was a Thompson Sub-machine gun. The Indians never stood a chance against that.

Of course, I also had an air-rifle and a BB gun.

My friends and I acted-out every conflict we could think of: cowboys and indians, cops and robbers, WW II, Civil War.

We were ALWAYS outside playing. Computer games don't come close to the kind of fun we had.
