My βRichβ cousin had one of those B.B. guns that looked like a real Winchester 94.
My uncle, that was just a few years older than me had one of those Daisy B.B. guns that looked like s Pump Shotgun.
When weβd have B.B. gun wars, his was more powerful than our Red Ryders and hurt more.
Iβm pretty sure heβs buried with a B.B. in his gut where I shot him at close range as kids. π¬

I had a Daisy regular BB gun, but when I was 12 I graduated to a Crossman .22 pump up type pellet rifle. I got deadly with that thing. No starling was safe in any tree top. A Liberal mom would have a heart attack if her baby touched one of those. That thing was powerful with about 12 pumps. I usually did 10. I still have what's left of it and plan to refurb it some day.

Have they edited out the hound dog getting its ear slammed in the door? π Nope. Itβs still there. π

The movie is great because it captures how several generations of kids were raised in the US. Also the hilarious look of how you viewed situations as a kid.
The father for me was a pretty good caricature of my father.
My brothers and I can watch it and laugh and laugh as we're winking at one another because he reminds us of our Dad.

Bumpus is a very common name around Middle Tenn
Even went to school with a couple. They werenβt too bright either.
Real school though, not some 12 kids in a feed store classroom

Got my first one in 1971 at the age of 6, only had it two days and my Dad wrapped it around a tree. Me and my brother got caught shooting groids that were fishing our pond.

I got a Daisey, lever action, BB gun for Christmas when I was eight (1969). Best Christmas present ever. I wore that thing out over the ensuing five or six years.

Jean Shepherd, the guy that wrote that, was one of my Dad's tenants back in the day. I remember going to visit him in his apartment so that he could show off his Ham radio gear. At the time, I think he was working at WLWT.

Same thing, except I was fourteen when I got my Crossman pump up pellet rifle with scope. I got damned good with mine, too. It retired the worn out Daisy.

At the time, I think he was working at WLWT. He used to have his own show on PBS that was hilarious. Me and a friend in school back then always watched it. This was before the movie.

I still have my Benjamin 22 cal that I got when I was 8, 52 years ago. I had it resealed for the third time a few years ago. A pile of critters dropped to that gun.

When I worked behind the gun counter at Herman's Sporting goods in the early 1980s, I sold a bunch of them. They were a popular Christmas present. I think most were in 5mm, though.
