This was the 1970s, and back then there was a scourge of what they called Saturday night specials, which were cheap, imported handguns.
And it seemed like every father I knew, every kid I knew in the neighborhood, their dad had one of these, had a gun, including my own father.
He had a handgun, plus other guns.
I mean, I grew up in a family that was comfortable with guns.
He was a veteran.
One of my grandfathers was a cop.
The other was an outdoorsman.
He was a registered guide in Maine.
He would take hunters and trappers into the wilderness.
So I learned how to shoot at an early age, but also, you know, living where I did.
encountered things that, you know, I was lucky I didn't either kill someone or myself.
In the junkyard near the trailer park, my little friends and I, probably nine, ten years old, we'd play in the wrecked cars.
And one time we found one of these Saturday Night Specials stuck under the front seat of one of these cars.
And of course, being boys, we immediately took it out and started pointing each other and pretending to shoot each other with it.
Thankfully, by some miracle, the cylinder was jammed so you couldn't fully depress the trigger.
Did this for an entire summer and never told our parents about it.
Later, when I was about maybe 12 or 13, we had moved to kind of a semi-rural area.
Behind our house was woods.
One time I took my father's .30-06 hunting rifle, a very powerful bolt-action gun.
It's the same kind that was used to kill Charlie Kirk.
