I remember going to a high school (located next to the catholic cathederal)festival and winning a pistol (in a raffle) - only 15 years old. Then taking it and walking home with it, thru town.
Also remember going to the gun store when I was 16 and buying another pistol.
And (at 15/16) walking several blocks thru town to the dump, with a 98K and/or pistols, to do some target shooting. No one, including the police, bothered me.
This was in a town of around 50/60k people - right across the river from Cincinnati
