A few things I discovered this evening.
My Mum knows how to shoot a small-calibre rifle
My Mum enjoyed shooting a rifle
When she was a teenager, my Mum occasionally carried the rifle with her on the tram. This was also fun. She did stress it was unloaded at the time.
This was all down to being a teenager in Czechoslovakia in the late 50s/early 60s. Particularly a kid/teenager who was in the Young Pioneers and then the post-war Komsomol equivalent (the name of which was escaping her this evening).
Perhaps more surprising given the Communist Youth organisations she was part of (which explain lugging rifles about on Prague trams!) and that she spent two years at the equivalent of University before emigrating to England, my Mum has never studied or read Das Kapital.
