My Grandfather grew up on a farm and attended a one room school house around 1900. These grade schoolers had a long walk back to the farm after school. Many of these boys would bring their small caliber rifles to school where they would be put in the coat room. After school the rifles would be retrieved on the possibility dinner could be shot on the way home.

My how times have changed. Glad I grew up when I did.

A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.
