My dad would take us down to the dump on my grandfathers farm and teach us to shoot with his Winchester 62.

My uncle Jim, one of the best men I'll ever know, along with my dad, came and got me from the farm house one day and practically dragged me a short ways out into the woods back of the house. I say dragged though I was very willing, but my legs were much shorter than his. He stuck a 410 in my hands and pointed out a squirrel out on a tree limb and said shoot it. I think he was surprised I hit it, and he dashed out and retrieved it so the dogs wouldn't get it. I think the dogs maybe treed it, I don't know for sure. I was nine. The legal age in PA is 12, so 51 for me. What's the statute of limitations on shooting a squirrel at nine years old?
