My first gun: Looking for safe ground in the middle of the gun debate
The Crickett is a bolt action .22, 30 inches long, with a black metal barrel and a plastic body. The box has a big cartoon cricket on the front (Davey Crickett is his name) and says “My First Rifle” in large green letters. Just below that, in very small letters, it says “NOT A TOY.”
