I didn't get a .22 until I was about 18 or 19 and bought my own.
I was born in 1941.

because he "would shoot his eye out". I quizzed my grandparents separately for confirmation and when I asked them why my dad couldn't have one they both said word for word and matter of factly, "He'd shoot his eye out". We still laugh over it.

What is "a compass, a stalk, and a thing which tells time"? I can't figure that out.
