DaveC,

That's too funny...!

I feel sorry for the kids in your neighborhood though!

I had actually thought about printing up flyers with my ad on one side and a target on the other side. Then, placing these flyers on the neighborhood windshields (target side out). Of course, the treat for the little kiddies would have been a bag of gravel;)!!!!

Don't be cheap, Dave.

What kid wouldn't appreciate a Red Ryder BB gun or a quality sling-shot?

[DaveC]

They could put their eye out:)

I just had to comment on this one guys.

What gives, when I was growing up, it was natural for a kid to get a BB gun or try to get fire crackers to blow stuff up. Man I used to take my sisters Barbie Dolls (She didn't know of course) and use them as targets. I would love setting up all my little green army men up in formations in a dirt pill (AKA Army Man Fort) and face them off with the Barbies and have a little war. Of course the army men always won, especialy since I would blow the Barbies up with BB's and Fire Crackers. I even used to sometime use a Seal Bomb (1/4 stick of dynamite).

Now days if a kid likes these kind of things the public system panics and says we have a future serial killer on our hands. Get him therapy, call the CPS something must be wrong. Heaven forbid you let him goto the rifle range with you and shot guns. I fully plan on when my son turns 8 years old getting him a BB gun and letting him shot whatever he wants in our back yard. I will even go buy him some cannon fodder (Barbie Dolls) so he can do what I used to do. Can't wait to teach him how to both hunt and fish. Bambie and Yogi Bear watch out, my son will be a might hunter.

I don't mean to get this topic off on a tangent, however I just thought I would share my opinion on how kids are brought up, not that it matters on this forum. Let kids be kids, let them have fun. My dad's generation used to do that too, they turned out ok, so did I (at least I think I did). It is totaly natural for a nice young american boy to want to destroy harmless stuff. Just my two cents. 8)

Times sure have changed! After seeing the video recently released of the two Columbine killers, man, what made them go from two regular kids to two killers.
I,too, had a B.B. gun when I was young, than a 22 rifle and now a 308 for hunting. Both my children (now young adults)never had a toy gun and neither of them hunt. They never had an interest in using one, that I am aware of.
I've got to go now, Texas Chainsaw Massacre is playing at the movies tonight. No, maybe I'll play Max Pain 2!!
Makes you wonder.
