Remember When

[Guest nra37922]

This thread is to reminisce about the good old days and lament the gun freedoms we have seen taken away.  Try to start out Remember when...

 

 

Remember when one could buy firearms via mail

Remember when a rifle in a gun rack went unnoticed

[Guest Cami]

Remember when a gun rack complete with rifles was no big deal, sitting in a high school parking lot, just a couple of good 'ole boys (or girls) getting in a little afternoon hunting?  Not planing on massacring anything except a few squirrels, a deer or just plinking?

[Metalhead]

Remember when 9mm was under $4 at academy?

[hipower]

Remember when gas was 26 cents per gallon?

[zgunbear]

When a thousand rounds of  surplus .308 were $60.00

SKS's were $80-$90

Norinco1911 clones were $120

[gun sane]

When plenty of .22 LR was on the shelves?

Yea, and you didn't have worry about theft.
I've thought about making a cardboard cut out and putting it in my rack just for the heck of it.

Remember when...

 

You could go to WalMart and buy ammunition. :shrug:

 

...Those were the days!

[Guest nra37922]

Remember when you could buy shotguns from Sears

[Guest MAWLJ45]

Ammo was cheap enough to go out and shoot all day long, then come back the next day for more. :pleased:

12 cents a gallon and a case of drinking glasses was included with a fill up.

 

But since this has to deal with firearms

 

Remember when gun owners weren't treated as criminals in training?

[Dennis1209]

Walk in to the Western Auto store as a twelve year old and buy a box of 50 .22LR's for twenty-five cents.

 

Have the postal mail delivered twice daily.

 

Have cold bottled milk delivered to your front door.

 

Picking up the phone and listening to make sure no one was on the line before you dialed.

 

Getting swat on the butt with the "butt board" by the principal for acting up in school.

 

Purple Turtles!

 

Six packs of tiny wax soda's with some sort of liquid in them and penny candy?

 

Fifty cent haircuts.

 

Two parent families?

 

Man head of household with job, wife home maker.

 

One car families.

 

All your childhood friends with manners speaking to adults with respect.

 

I read all that in a book somewhere?

Remember rifle teams in school

[piercedan]

Twelve year old me and a buddy walking dirt roads with our .22s and a pocket full of ammo.  Cars would pass, the people would wave.  Nobody called the cops, nobody worried.  We never shot anything we weren't supposed to.  Prior to that, substitute a BB gun for the .22 from the age of eight or nine. 

[Caster]

Remember when dirty tree huggin' left wing liberal hippes didn't torment us to near death?

 

I'm only 35, I don't remember that.  

[rugerla1]

When we had more money to go shooting because we weren't supporting so many lazy asses with these high taxes

[Raoul]

Remember when you could go to the dump and shoot rats

Remember when you could walk down the RR tracks shooting pigeons and no one bothered you?

Remember when you could stop to help someone on the side of the road and not get robbed?

Remember when a young boy (and sometimes a young girl) could count on getting a cap gun for his birthday or Christmas? Sometimes he'd get a stick horse too. As he got older it would be a bb gun and, later on, a 22 rifle.

 

Remember when you could get them with green stamps?

[TMF]

Remember when those damn kids would stay off my lawn?

[reed1285]
