When I was 12, I had a paper route. I saved up 35.99 and went to Westrin drug store on the corner. They sold guns and ammo, too. I handed the gal at the corner the cash, some of it in change, and asked for the model. 94 Winchester 30 30 rifle. She gets it down and starts to hand it to me. She stopped and asked, "Does your mother know you are buying this?" That was the background check. I said yes and went out the door. Then, the next pay day, I got a box of ammo. That was 60 years ago today.
