I was in the oy scouts, back in the 80's...

one of my scout masters was of the gun dealers...

I called him after school, and told him i had some money for a new (used) gun he had in the shop...

NO PROBLEM, he said... he brought the gun to the scout meeting, had my dad fill out the paperwork, and we even SHOT it (an Ithica model 37 Featherweight 20 Ga.) at a few hand thrown skeet after the meeting, out behind *GASP* the CHURCH!

these days, that'd get the lot of us "3 hots and a cot"...
