Anyway, I dreamed of guns even earlier than you, but didn’t get my first revolver (a High Standard Sentinel) in 1970, and my first S&W a few years later. As Jerry Garcia sang, “What a long, strange trip it’s been'”

PS Where was the farm? I used to hang out with my cousins out on Beulah Rd when that was “way out in the country.” Right after WW II all of my uncle’s friends said his was crazy to buy land “that far out from Richmond!”
