Policeman visiting preschoolers.
This was a faint memory untill i read all these police stories:

*Flashback in earthy hipstamatic colours*

When i was in preschool (Denmark, 1978) we got a visit from a policeman one day. He talked a lot about how to behave in traffic, always looking after cars, bla, bla. But in my mind the really interesting thing about him was his gun.

Probably because my parents were dirty hippies. Me and my brother weren't allowed any "war toys" at all.

So, of course i asked the the policeman if i could see his gun. Probably much to the dismay of my batik-clad teacher. And he promptly took it out, unloaded it, and gave it to me (i remember it to be very heavy), and told me to pass it around to the whole class. Which i of course did. Great fun!

"So what did you do at school today, son"?

That is amazing, you wouldn't see that today with all the fear about guns.

My dad was law enforcement and always had a .38 Special on him. He did the same for his children, allowing us to hold and later fire his weapon. I've never been afraid of guns, but also have a healthy respect for their capabilities.

So your story is
Your dad used to make you wank him off?

Actually, i am very much a pacifist, but shooting guns is just plain fun! ;-) (under the right circumstances, aknowledging safety rules, etc. etc.)

We did things differently at my school.
No armed police, but we did keep guns in a room next to one of the libraries.
