upon occastion I would play with an empty green bean can kicking it around the yard.....



my kids have no idea....

What good is a toy gun? I was running around with a BB gun when I was 5. Until I got in trouble for trying to open a shot gun shell with a nail. I had ran out of ammo for my BB gun and someone had told me that the shot gun shell was full of them.

LOL! well guns are different!

I got my first gun .22 when I was about 7 or 8. got my first shotgun when I was strong enough to hold it up... 9 or 10?

Love that gun. Model 1100 Remington .20 gage.

Alas, my sons arent going to have that kind of fun. They live in the big city.


I did have a BB gun when I was really little. Ive blocked out those memories so THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT UP


when I was about 6 I shot out the sliding glass door in our trailer (YES I LIVED IN A HOUSE TRAILER) in the dead of winter.

Thank you Baron for making me relive the consequences of my actions! LOL!

Didn't that just leave a little round hole?

That's funny. Though I bet it wasn't at the time. One time there was a window of a car shot out at my grandparents house, there were several cousins with BB guns and somehow I got blamed.

I got a .20 gauge when I was 12. I also bought a .30-.30 when I was 13. Still have both of them and have added to the collection some since then. My daughter who is 12 was asking for a rifle the other day, hmmm seems like a good idea to me!!!

Kids love to play with them when they come over. It allows the parents to visit without interruption.

My son has (still at my house) a Tikes Toy Chest FULL of legos - - - my grandchildren will love them I'm sure, but oh they hurt when you step on one in the carpet!

That's true. I just found a pirate hat in the carpet the other day. Don't know how the vacuum cleaner missed that. It's been there since July! - the last time we had kids over here playing with them. I stepped in just the right spot to find it! LOL!
