The first time I ever fired a shotgun was for trap (or it may have been skeet - I'm not an expert ;-) shooting. I hit nine out of 15 targets on the fly. Not bad for a beginner. But for straight target shooting I was very tough to beat. Haven't done it it years, so I don't know how my contact lenses would affect my ability. Would like to think I've still got it. barboy, Chutes and Ladders, Barbie, Monopoly, MatchBox Cars, The Game of Life, roller skating, riding bikes, swimming and Hide-and-Go-Seek were part of our everyday fun. Target shooting was reserved for rare occasions when my dad didn't have to work on a weekend (he worked a lot of overtime when I was young), the Dodgers weren't in town, or we'd already been to the museums at Exposition Park recently. ;-)

I'm pretty sure they ban eight year olds from driving most go-carts, don't they? >>> I doubt that there are any laws covering the operation of go-carts on private property. The one thing that struck me about the article was that there is the implication that this was a fully automatic weapon. Most states prohibit fully automatic weapons in private hands, with a few exceptions such as Oregon and Nevada. I would have never have guessed that Massachusetts would be a state that allows them.
