It's a good thing I was 15 and 16 when I was.. I ALWAYS had bullets in my pockets. Got some strange looks at times when searching for change for a soda and pull out a handful of bullets and a couple of quarters.. I couldn't even tell you WHY I had a 9V battery in my pocket, transistor Radio maybe?
Know what you mean. I went to school once and realized I had a jacket pocket with a half dozen shotgun shells from dove hunting still in it. Didn't even phase me. Today you'd be like "yike! where can I ditch these?"
Had an aquaintance once... she was dating a gun enthusiast and spent the weekend shooting.
She was a highly placed, yuppie doctor at Johns Hopkins. Her friends didn't believe she actually shot a gun until she propped her combat boots up on her desk and they saw a casing embedded in the tread.
