I have always wished for my own bazooka.

I did once find some bazooka shells, which were trophies with no propellant or explosive. We dropped them off a cliff hoping they would explode. My brother filled the propellant chamber with blasting powder and set a shell upright and lit a fuse. There was a huge Whoosh! and it disappeared. While they were looking to see where it had gone, it came whistling back down from about a half-mile in the sky and hit a few feet away.

When I was in high school there was a store in town that would sell anyone blasting powder and dynamite. A friend and I blew quite large crater out in the woods. My father and his friend Harvey Templeton (brother of John) used to take dynamite and blow up old sawdust piles just for fun.

You see, it's important to have weapons control laws to keep people like me under control. Right now, in my garage, there are some M-80s, a whole bag full, that my sister gave me, when she got them free along with a lot of Roman candles and sky rockets. These are as powerful as stun grenades. I have never set one off because I do not wish to be in the newspapers or in jail.
