During my high school days, we have 2 years of military training subject in the school where I come from, and this is mandatory, then, 2 years also of the same subject in college or university. I always wonder if this curriculum is much better to be brought back to educate this generation to bring discipline and also awareness. I believe that violent video games is more influential in all this gun related incident nowadays.

My father was a OPP police officer in Kitchener. Bought me a pellet gun at age 9. Used to sling it over my shoulder and walk the streets of Kitchener to local parks. Kids my age on swings and slides and me in a 4X4 bush waiting on a bird to land in the right spot. Got my first 22 powder burner at age 12. Always went deer hunting with my Dad at a very young age and sit with him. I was fully licence to hunt on my own at age 15. How times have changed and not for the good. I am not the criminal.

Dad would always hang his police belt with his loaded pistol in the basement of our house and I would walk by it many times each day and never once did I ever touch it. It was something I never even thought of doing. I was brought up with guns and was taught to respect them.

CHEERS!

I agree.......in fact I have gotten into arguments with friends over this. They are letting computers/TV/video games raise their children.

It's so true.
Discipline is taught, not given.
Know what they say about idle minds.

When I was in high school in Kitchener many years ago I took my .22 and new scope into the school so the machine shop teacher could help me modify the rings to make them fit. My buddy got caught by the VP with a 12ga and a box of beer in his locker on a Friday afternoon ( they were leaving from school for the weekend to a friend's cottage). He got more grief for the beer than the shotgun. Today the school would be under lockdown and surrounded by SWAT. Times change.

That's some good time....

Sigh... Can't say the time now is better or worse, I do like the old time more...

When I was still a little kid, kids in the same age playing muds on the river side together naked was normal... For sure in the current time, someone must be prepared for the jail time especially if the parents took some pictures to record the fun time...

At age 16, I owned two air rifles, a Crosman 760 and a super accurate, forever dieseling Chinese break barrel. Both were purchased from local hardware stores. I shot birds with the break barrel rifle. Even walked the streets of Rockwood with it. Most fun was shooting pop bottle caps and pop cans in the backyard.

Later in University I had my FAC and purchased semi-auto Cooey and a couple of Ruger 22's from local hardware stores. I would go to a private range outside of Acton to shoot them with 30 shot magazines for the Ruger 22. It was nothing to go through 100 rounds in one sitting.

How time has changed.
