Gunner just lost his squirrel gun.

A true conversation in Alabama:

my partner: Do you think it was wise to buy your 15-year old son a
machine gun from the pawn shop?

mother: Of course. It was much cheaper there than at Wal-Mart.

Good story, although it's anything but true. (Neither pawn shops nor
Wal-Marts can legally sell machine guns anywhere in the US and the
mother would need a Class III federal license.)

I find this odd. If mom found son with a jar full of condoms, she
might thing he was a planning to **** somebody. But if she finds a
jar full of machine gun ammunition it never crosses her mind he might
be a planning to shoot someone.

Or much more likely targets, bottles, cans, etc.
