I had my car at the Cruise Down Memory Lane in Vineland last night. The place was packed and there were well over a thousand cars and many, many spectators. I was sitting behind my car and nearby, two small boys (8/9 years old) were playing with cap guns. Police officers walked by, a few politicians walked by, people I know to be teachers walked by, and tons of other people. Not a single person....not one... paid any attention to these kids. In their minds...nothing wrong with those kids playing. Harmless stuff. I couldn't help wondering about, how in those circumstances, was it okay for those kids to play with toy guns when we hear so many stories about kids with toy guns. Just thinking 'out loud'.

It's Vineland... They are thankful for them just being cap guns...

South Jersey is a deer hunter's paradise in the pines.  More open space, more folks per capita with firearms.  Firearms aren't NY EVIL down in good-'ol South Jersey.  Students at Rowan U. are even trying to get a day at a Range planned  

Maybe because everyone could see they were toy guns?

I saw kids running around Bethel Mill Park like that in the beginning on spring. It was very refreshing to see no parents freaking out. South Jersey is great.

What was the excuse for the pastry gun? Or finger guns? Could be deadly if we got hit by an assault pop tart. Just saying...

 

Guess my Secret Sam would spook the crap out of them... Lol...

I don't know if it's a north/south thing. I was in Newark today and saw a little boy playing with his plastic ar 15 look-a-like toy gun. Made noise, FA I may say, the rounds moved up and down on its standard cap magazine. Darnest thing. There were a couple hundred people around, young and old, including a couple dozen officers and armed security personal.

Nobody said anything, nobody batted an eye.
