[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2523922, member: 116439"] Don't know about the "We didn't shoot each other". We would watch "Combat" on Sunday evening through a 12" B&W TV with (3) stations. The next Saturday we would be in the coal stripping's with all the holes like bomb craters (NE PA mountains) play WAR and shoot at each other with BB guns. Had a few that we had to take the BB out with tweezers from under the skin. Then my dad would instruct me to go into the "Cellar" lean up against the "Coal Bin" bend over and take a bunch of straps against my backside for disobeying and playing WAR with BB guns. I never had a BB gun (borrowed the neighbors) my father would not let me have one. Said it was too dangerous, but gave me a Savage Pump 22. I know my dad was right-BB & Pellet guns were just as dangerous, but even as a kid we knew that a BB sting was different than a hot piece of lead going through you. Still shot each other with BB & Pellet guns, but real guns were respected Well that is how kids grew up during my time in the mountains. Different world than today. Kids play violent video games, de-sensified and have no morals. They kill with real guns and have no feelings or remorse. No respect for property, everything should be free. We couldn't live in the city. We are currently far enough into the country where people are still people and kids are raised hunting & fishing with RESPECT for People and Property. Do love these stories of our youth when there was respect of each other and freedom to hunt and shoot responsibly. Still remember the days, like yesterday, walking to and from school with a .22 rifle of shotgun to hunt or check a trap line.
