I actually won a shotgun selling magazines for the FFA in the 9th grade. It was presented to me at school. Did have to buy my own shells though. No Id required. Carried it through town over my shoulder on the way to the woods squirrel hunting. Never got a second look. Same town now couldn't do that as an adult. I guess we can look back and smile about the good ole days.

Yeah, it's pretty bad when you have to brief your staff on how to NOT get arrested by carrying the firearms they are licensed and trained and REQUIRED to carry for work when they are travelling and check into their hotels. No lie. It happened. (Firearms were in their cases, unloaded and locked, and being brought into the hotel for safe keeping, ammo was in the truck - gov't policy prohibits them from being kept in the vehicle overnight.)
