When I was a kid, here in Colorado, me and a buddy would walk right through the neighborhoods with our pellet guns to control the local soda can population and what ever else we could find that was fun to shoot at. The worst we got from neighbors was don’t you kids shoot your eye out…
. Today that would definitely get the attention of numerous cops.
My High School Principal came out to the parking lot and asked a buddy of mine how he liked his rifle that was in the gun rack of his truck because he was in the market for a hunting rifle. This was not in a rural area, it was in Colorado Springs 1987-1991.
