I saw a viral video about a guy who said his town in New Jersey did not enforce prohibition law at all back in the 1900s, with the consequence that he, as a minor, could go in to a bar and get a drink. Interesting thought to consider in the face of unjust legislation today, that there were places in the past that just didn't enforce certain laws thought to be unjust.
What kind of other questions might we ask of elders, to understand some of the past that might help us make good decisions going forward?

I'm 70 and English. The only time I ever saw a gun was in American "westerns" at the cinema - and later on TV. Gun ownership was rare long before the government introduced new legislation to limit certain types of gun.
Oh, and @igoape I don't drink beer as I'm allergic to yeast, but thanks for the offer. Feel free to ask me any question about the post-war era.
