I think I've posted this, maybe last year or during some chat. I was on my lunchbreak and went to a sporting goods department at a downtown Brooklyn store. My friend and I were planning to go hunting and I was tired of borrowing a rifle from my uncle as I had in a couple of past years. So I was intent on buying a rifle. I had looked at the Winchester model 94 but wanted to see the lever action Marlin. The salesman went into the back to get it and when he came out he said, "The President's been shot".

Never did get to see that rifle. Went to a fraternity house and watched the news with a lot of other people till about 6:00pm. Everyone seemed to be in shock. Then went home and watched tv some more. Two days later while watching tv I saw L. Harvey Oswald get shot by Jack Ruby.
I didn't go hunting that year.
