I am 77. I grew up with the GREATEST GENERATION home from the war. It was great!!!!. Firearms everywhere, stories told and retold,fighting, smoking,drinking,all the vice's. The baseball coach was ex Detroit Tiger,farm system, that was a Marine on Guadalcanal. I learned to shot and hunt. You could buy a Krag for $7.00. Friend, you name it I did it. It was AMERICA, RED WHITE AND BLUE. Mom bought me my first rifle at Monkey wards. I now carry S&W, Colt, looking at the Kimber.
