I've learned as a parent that children torment us with whatever we give them. Give them a television, and witness hours of arguments about what shows to watch and why it's not time to go to bed yet. Give them a ball and they're chasing it into the street as the cars go by. So, if you want to see your child, his brother or six neighbors with a face full of buckshot, then just give then a shotgun. It works everyday.<BR/><BR/>Hey, give them a shotgun as a going away present when they go to college. It might help them to adjust.

I agree that this is definitely more a rural thing than a strictly southern thing. <BR/><BR/>I lived in Oregon 4 four years, and there was a gun and knife show on the fairgrounds something like once a year.twilightandreasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02604425587142091071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19408862.post-79712448530660732032007-12-15T21:33:00.000-06:002007-12-15T21:33:00.000-06:00A gun raffle?

I remember going to visit a camp friend who lived in rural Oregon and their high school granted excused absences for huntin' trips. I'm just saying.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792779327477619787noreply@blogger.com
