I think back to my childhood, and like Mr. Garrison across the way, I received a pellet gun from my father somewhere around the time I was 10 years old. I have very clear memories of living in a smaller community and after school and in the summer break from school taking this pellet gun, walking down the street out of town and into the neighbouring farmer's field with it and shooting gophers, or as you say, shooting pop cans off fence posts. I can't imagine a police officer, first of all, would have been terribly concerned at that time. But I can't imagine that happening today and a police officer arresting someone and prosecuting them according to the way the law stands today. How do you think?
