[QUOTE="LBrandt, post: 373914, member: 2979"] Folks bought a lot of things from Montgomery wards they had like a three story store in Wahpeton ND Basement was like a man cave then two stories of clothing then furniture on top. I know Dad bought all our appliances and at least three guns. A 303 British, My twenty ga, a 12 guage Ithica feather light and I forgot a Western Field 22 semi auto rifle. There is a story behind that 22. It was right after they gave it too me, never had an auto before. I came up to the house dropped the tube of shells and cranked the bolt to get the one in the chamber out. Went in the house and mom was at the kitchen sink doing dishes and she said "that gun unloaded". I said yep pointed it up at the ceiling and "BLAM". Didn't know there was always one more round that would load. Mom never said a word and they never patched the hole in the ceiling. Dad fixed the roof so it would not leak. After that I never came in the house without looking at that hole. Sharp lesson learned about gun safety that I never forgot. They are "always Loaded. That hole in the ceiling was still there when they tore that house down. LB [/QUOTE]
