Thread: Red Ryder BB Gun

One of my all time favourite movies is A Christmas Story, where Ralphie dreams for weeks of getting a genuine Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun. Great movie, but I have to ask, how many of you had a (Red Ryder) BB gun? How many have bought one for your children? Have they changed over time do you think?

Do you think, in today's hyper-restrictive environment, that a BB gun is still an acceptable gift for ages 10+ (as indicated on the Bass Pro Shops website: Daisy Limited Edition Red Ryder BB Gun)

Nostalgia just wafts over me as I remember insanely covetting my best friend's BB gun, and how for ages I bugged my parents relentlessly...all for not.

So - please reminice - I'd love to relive that part of my youth through some great stories!
