Does anyone have a good true gun story?
let me start. My son is fifty three now but has has quit a career. Hunter safety at 14, 4 years in the Special Forces, twenty eight years as a cop including State Bureau of Invest. Two trips to Iraq training iraq police.
Now for the story. It starts with his first gun a Red Ryder BB gun at 4 years old. At 8 he got a Sheridan pellet rifle. At twelve he got a 20G Ithica single shot. At 16 he was in the Kenosha Hospital having surgery. He was pretty down so I had to cheer him up. Now to show you how things have changed, I went down to Tyson Sport shop and bought him a 12 Ga Remington 870. Now get this.... I took it up to the hospital and gave it to him. He was thrilled to death because he wanted one sooo bad. While I sat with him in the room he would show it to all the nurses. They kept coming in the room to see the kids new shot gun!! Now can you just imagin if some one was to do that today? You would maybe get twenty years. Thats just one story I have. I showed you mine now show me yours. JG

I used to carry my JROTC rifle team .22 cal home on public transportation bus in Omaha, Ne.
My son's science project in middle school involved shooting many different handguns with various factory ammunition to determine if there was any accuracy consistency between brands. He won, classroom and school projects and went on to district level. He is now senior Use of Force instructor at the state academy.
Can't imagine getting a free pass on either of these two events today.

When I was a senior in High School I got a Honda 90. I decided that would be the ideal vehicle to take deer hunting on opening day. I would go up an old logging road behind the high school for about a mile or so where there was an old homestead and apple orchard that would be the best place!
I got up a 4 in the morning and put on my helmet, slung my 7.65 Arg. Mauser across my back and rode the 3 miles to the road by the school. It was a little foggy and misty riding and by the time I got to the school I was ONE FROZEN boy! Daylight was still about 2 hours away and I didn't want to go home. I parked my Honda by the back door to the school and tried the door. It was unlocked. I went inside and it was also nice and warm! I stood my rifle up just outside the door and waited for the first hint of daylight.
About an hour later I see headlights come around the corner of the building...the car stops right in front of the doorway next to my motorcycle and rifle. It was the City Police Chief! I stepped out of the door and said "Hello Jack!" He said hi and asked what I was doing? I told him about getting up too early and being frozen cold. We talked about deer hunting and guns. Just before he left he mentioned that the orchard would probably be a good spot to be. He said to be careful and good luck. He waved as he drove away!

In a far Chicago suburb, late 50s, early 60s.... we used to take our loaded guns to school so we could go shoot after school. Sometimes had them in the classroom, later left them in our car when we finally had one.
In another life and time..... when common sense, integrity, and personal responsibility was common.

Oopps on the loaded guns in school - never would have done that except at the range. Yes, we had a range in the HS, lower level basement.

Now a-days if you have an empty shotgun shell you get expelled.  There is a story about it somewhere online.

We can have those days again, if we get our children out of the collectivist mentality they are being brainwashed into. Enter the Jews for the Protection of the Second Ammendment "Goody Guns" program. It's sure to make your local gun haters angry.
What I find interesting about this program, is that it teaches children to eat the handle of the gun first, and not to point the barrel toward anyone. You can do this at home, just don't depend on your collectivist school district to accept this gun safety program.
http://www.goodyguns.com/about.html
About Goody Guns Aaron Zelman, founder and director of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO), unveiled a new program to counteract the unceasingly lies and dangerous propaganda of the victim disarmament (aka "gun control") lobby -- lies and propaganda mostly aimed at a captive audience of children in the public school system, and spread like a disease by the mass media -- while providing hours of wholesome family fun.
The program, called "Goody Guns", consists of a special cookie cutter in the shape of a semiautomatic pistol or revolver. With the supervision and help of the adults in their lives, boys and girls can turn their own kitchens into "Arsenals of Liberty" by making gun-shaped cookies to keep and share, while absorbing firearms safety lessons the public schools would never teach them, and which the mass media don't want to see taught.
