    Very true. It takes preparation and practice too. Best learned early in life.

    you can prepare and practice till you're blue in the face and you still won't shoot someone without a gun unless archery is your thing or water pistols maybe

    except for the fact that pretty much anyone over the age of 18 can purchase a gun without any preparation or practice or training. Do you think that should change?

    Oh, way too late to begin. I bought my first rifle at 14, a Model 94 Winchester .32 Special. I wanted something not quite so heavy as the
    Model 1886 Winchester in the .47-70. Sort of a beast to pack and shoot too.

    With a 26" octagon barrel and the tube full of 405 grain rounds, that sucker probably weighed close to 12 pounds.

    It seems quite direct to me.

    I'm sure it does, but it isn't answering my question. What age you were in over 60 years ago doesn't address my question at all.

    Perhaps if you take it one sentence at a time. Begin with this one;

    Oh, way too late to begin.

    Which I took as a cop out and didn't even come close to answering the question. Hell at least use the Jeff Sessions reasoning "I don't recall". Take a stance for once and give a legit answer. You have waffled on answering questions way back to the days you came into the Olive forum. If you don't like participating in discussions then why bother coming into a forum? Is it that you don't understand the question?

    You may not like the answer, but it is my answer.

    Yeah, but I think that describes most of us.

    I've only seen on Saw movie and didn't enjoy that. It's been quite a while since I saw (no pun intended) it but I don't recall a puppet.

    Still, I think you've given me enough to construct a mental image of what you're saying and it ain't too pretty.

    lol. but my question had nothing to do with you 60 years ago or your personal experiences. It would be like me asking you what you had for dinner last night and you responding "I mowed my lawn yesterday".

    The answer really has nothing to do with me or you 60 years ago.

    Oh, way too late to begin.

    Amazing how many times you avoid answering a simple yes or no question.

    Perhaps you can't find an answer in an answer.
