[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3086149, member: 7900"] With respect to the discussion points about Audie Murphy, he didn't have both parents in his youth. His family was abandoned at some point by his father, so Audie quit school so he could work to support his family. If one hasn't ever seen it, rent "To Hell and Back" and view his story. Now that he has come up in this discussion, I'll have to get my DVD out and watch that tonight. And, as an aside to this whole argument on age, I purchased my first rifle when I was a pre-teen (10 to 12 years old). My parents had already seen that I showed proficiency and safety consciousness enough to have my own. They even let me walk down to the lumber/hardware store and pick out the firearm. Oddly, at almost 72 years old, I can still remember that it cost me $16 for the .22 bolt action rifle. [/QUOTE]
