What ever happen to days like this?
From Shorpy
What happened to those days, where you could carry a rifle in a rifle case and sit on a subway train without people calling 911. When your rifle is in the back of your car and after going to school, go hunt in the woods? I've brought my Enfield to school, the Major almost shat his pants but played it off, warning me about the good old days aren't here anymore. Now, bring a rifle for show-and-tell and you'll be off with a felony on your record. I was growing up in that age of transition, from the realistic fake firearms to the flourscent colorings to distinguish the difference.
I remember hanging out at a gun store and one of the customers were asking about transportation techniques. The guy stated that he had no car and wondered if its ok to take the bus to the range with his pistol in his backpack. The gunstore worker looked stunned and told him that he should find a ride to the range.
Nowadays, you can't go to a bowling alley, a church, a funeral even without getting blasted. I sense with future anti-gun laws coming down the pipe things are gonna get wilder. The new craze is since guns are ok to own says the supreme court, ammo on the other hand isn't protected by the 2nd amendment. The only thing about banning firearms is the citizen must now place their security faith into local law enforcement (is that good?). No more the neighborhood watch, no more neighbors to watch for each other, just call the cops, they heal all wounds (sure), then the madness continues 30minutes after the black n whites leave.. Thats just my view.
