    I'm pretty sure a rubber band "gun" would get you a vacation from school today, but now I wonder if they kick kids out for shooting rubber bands from their fingers?

    Any "kid" of ANY age, from 9 to 90, who can't enjoy a rubber band gun and a safari for bees and wasps, ain't a real, sho' 'nuff gunner! I was talking with a friend just the other day about how much fun we used to have with our sling shots. He also has lots of bees and wasps that constantly bother him on his front porch, so he bought one of those "salt guns" off TV that use salt instead of rubber bands, etc. He had the most fun using that thing to crop his hoarde of flying insects, flies and stingy things. I bet he's already shot it 5,000 times, and very few shots failed to get a fly or bug of some kind. He got very deadly with that thing very quickly, learned its maximum effective range, etc.

    Fun is fun, no matter how you make it!

    When I was a kid, I was hell on wheels with my "wrist rocket" slingshot. Sparrows and starlings didn't stand a chance.

    My brother and I shot a bag of songbirds. My dad made us eat them. As I grew older I realized that we did'nt gut them.
