There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

The kid's carrying what? One of those little Mattel guns? They actually had cartridges and you had to change mags and operate them?

Back then and even the thirty some years ago of my youth kids carrying around and playing with toy guns raised absolutely zero concern. Even though they were scaled down versions of the real thing you could tell if it was a toy or not. Long gone are those days. Now if a kid makes his peanut butter and jelly sandwich look like a pistol he's suspended.

Amen! Finished HS in upstate NY in '71. Most, if not all, trucks in the student parking lot had gunracks with at least one gun in them. Guns were regularly raffled at school and the winner was to pick them up in the principal's office on the way home...
