There is no way my wife or I would have gifted a 22 repeating rifle to one of them or have purchased it for ourselves in or any time for that matter. If we did not purchase the gun and scope near the year I mentioned in last evenings email, we are left with no conceivable alternative of just how the rifle came to our household and has remained in our attic with perhaps occasional use by one of our five grandchildren unbeknownst to my wife or me.

Steven : Rob, The long version of this story is, when I turned 14 in July 80, my dad purchased a motorcycle for me to travel back and forth to school. I used to use my lunch money for gas, which my parents told me later, always made them wonder where I was getting money for gas.

The owners, friends of the family, allowed me to put it on layaway and pay it out. I starved the whole year. I took my birthday money from my 15th birthday, borrowed the rest from my sister, and told dad I wanted to go get my rifle.

Surprisingly, the owners never told my parents about the purchase. So we went down to the store and I finished paying my Marlin off, and my dad signed for it, which the owners had told me he would have to when I started the layaway. Unfortunately, when I rounded my money up to pay it off, I forgot to include a box of shells. So, dad pitched in and bought my first box so we could go sight it in. Unfortunately, later I purchased some other guns, put the scope that came with the Marlin on another gun and the scope went when I sold that gun, so I no longer own the original scope and mounts.

If a 14 yr old kid walked into a store to make the same purchase today, it would involve the FBI, ATF, Social Services, psychiatrist, psychologist, time in a mental hospital, federal prosecutors, and probably satellite and helicopter surveillance. Oh and a speech from the president about needing stronger "gun safety" laws. A nod to much simpler times. I do miss them.

Steven : My granddad, who walked to school, took his gun to school every day and hunted for dinner on the way home. He said they actually had gun racks on the walls of the school just to keep their guns. Of course this was the depression and he used to tell me if he took 6 shells to the woods he better bring either 6 squirrels, rabbits or whatever or 6 shells home or a combination of them.

Dad, on the other hand, took his to school on the school bus. He would keep it in his locker and ride the bus home with a friend and go hunting after school. I took mine in my truck hung prominently on a gun rack in the back glass of my truck just like all my friends.
