My 16th birthday was on a Sunday, and the very next day I had my driver's license. Just a few weeks later I was driving 30 miles into the Big City, with five other teens in the car, going to the multiplex movie theater on a Saturday night.

Nowadays they have these "graduated" driver's licenses, and sixteen-year-olds are only allowed to have one passenger in the car with them.
He bought that M1A1 back in 1968, after he caught a couple guys trying to steal some of his cows. All he had at the time was a 20-gauge shotgun loaded with rocksalt, that he kept on a scabbard on his Moped scooter* for chasing off dogs.

*in the days before ATVs he used a Moped to round up his cows and herd them from field to field.
