Has anyone seen the most recent sequel? The Red Ryder and an interesting lamp shade are both in the attic. Personally I think Ralph grew up a little too much.

I blame Ralpie from Christmas Story
- Thread starter Perle
- Start date
Ralphie from didn’t just dream of a Red Ryder BB gun—he made it a cultural icon! His relentless pursuit of the ultimate Christmas gift inspired generations to see BB guns as more than toys—they became a symbol of childhood adventure (and maybe a little mischief). Thanks to Ralphie, the BB gun market found its place in holiday history!

Ralphie got me in trouble with the AN moderators at one time! Some of those visions and pictures didn't mesh in these modern times we all enjoy. But, yeah, I get it Ralphie ... I had and still do enjoy my air rifles etc for many reasons even if not approved by others.
"Next to me in the blackness lay my oiled blue steel beauty. The greatest Christmas gift I had ever received, or would ever receive. Gradually, I drifted off to sleep, pranging ducks on the wing and getting off spectacular hip shots."

Same here! Funny how the movie made it out to be a concern. My mother just looked at me and said it would be my fault if I shot myself and “don’t be an idiot”.

Honest here ! i almost shot my fathers eye , missed buy an inch , It was with a sling shot i had just made , luckily only with newspaper rubber bands so not powerful . Boy did i learn a lesson that day ! Dad took me outside with a .410 shotgun and i blew bottles apart till my arms were to tired to hold the gun up
Then he made me pick up all those pieces ,every one of them .. I was 8 years old . i was 38 when this movie first released .
