That is, indeed, absurd, if it is correct. I would guess that since

how to properly handle a gun, as they did it at home every day. Kids
were the source of meat in homes back then, using their mighty .22s
until they bigger and could handle Dad's Winchester.



That is where I learned gun safety and how to shoot in the'60s, and
I've never shot anyone.

You were the source of meat? Any species we would recognize? d8-)
