I would contend that most of the country has very little in common
with the Northern Atlantic states. That is why we had a limited
federal government in the first place. Laws that seem to make perfect
sense to people in Boston, New York or New Haven sound ridiculous in
Butte or Boise

So, you're saying that "PaPy" in Boise still hands a .22 rifle to 9 year
old "Jr" and tells him, "I'm a'grumblin. Go fetch us some viddles while
I stoke up the stove"?

It would certainly not be unreasonable for a 9 year old to get a .22
that would be used under supervision for a few years but by the time
they were 14 or so they would have a hunting license. That was when I
got my first one and I lived within a mile of the DC line, inside what
is the beltway now.
There was excellent quail hunting in the area south and west of where
exit #3 is now.

It was an anti aircraft base in the 40s and even into the early 50s,
then it was a huge open field. The whole area between exit 3 and 4 was
woods. So was the area south of Forest Heights all the way to the
river on both sides of the beltway ROW. That is thousands of acres.
Looking at google there still seems to be a lot of woods there north
of the ROW. I doubt you can hunt there now ;-)

Used to do a lot of quail hunting out Hwy 50 north of I-66. In the
early 70's that was all farm land. Got a lot of birds out there.
