In 1965 at age 15, I ordered a 7mm Mauser from Klein's Sporting Goods, the same place Lee Harvey Oswald got his rifle, and it was delivered to me by the USPS.  Paid $11 for the rifle and about $3 for postage.  It was the good old days as far as guns were concerned.

That was a lot of money at that time. But there's probably a lot of these floating around.
Where are they?

In 1957-8 I used to be able to ride my bike to Rocky Mountain Fireworks and buy all the M-80s and Cherry Bombs I had quarters for.  All year long.

And then spend a fun day out in fields blowing shit up.

Not to mention that the store was on Hollywood Blvd in Los Angeles. Looks like it was plowed over by the 101 highway.

California before a massive influx of NY'ers over a couple years was very definitely not liberal.  A couple severe northeast winters were the death of it.  In the 1970's as I recall.

Suddenly, NY license plates everywhere, NY delicatessens popping up, Barbara Boxer arrives, the end of all things.
