Oldest Son learning the ways of Mountain Men
Troy at age 7 1976
"John Smith
was driving down a back county highway in the county of Pandora. The 1965 beat-up,
mostly green and rust Chevy farm pick-up had some new interior with black
leather bucket seats that had replaced the old bench seat. When he was stopped
by County Officer 1 (“CO1”), the officer informed John his left tail light was
out. The usual questions followed with John’s presentation of the required
documentation, license, and registration. During the stop Mr. Smith indicated
his surprise to find the tail light was out, and asked if he could get out and
see it, “After all it is my son’s rig. He has done so much work on it to make
it street legal so of course I am surprised.”
“Of
course,” was the officer’s reply. As the police would say, Mr. Smith “exited
the vehicle.” As John slid across the lipped edge of the bucket seat and turned
to walk back to the driver side tail light he left the door open.It was the officer’s turn to be surprised. “John, is that your gun?” There, in what was now plain view, stuck between the bucket seats with the handle showing was what turned out to be a Smith & Wesson long barrel .357 magnum."
