This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

It was when I was younger. At 16, I was able to walk into a local gun shop and buy two boxes of 9mm ammo. Shop owner didn't seem to care at all, so my friend (17) went back in weeks later to buy a .22 pistol.

No ID. No anything.

Thankfully, things have changed since then.

You should have got a gun the same caliber as the ammunition.

😂 we were so young and dumb, we didn't think that far ahead.

My friend just wanted something small (bad, BAD city), and what I bought wasn't even for me. I got sent in by older guys who apparently weren't allowed to buy ammo.

In retrospect, I think I was lied to 🤔

You think the owner knew?

Changed for the better, right?

Definitely not, no 3rd pinhole and it's got the CA neutered grip, just a regular old AR-15kun.
