Places to buy gear

That is correct. Provided the proprietor allows it. Bless those buckeyes.

I graduated from H.S. in 1969, which was back in the good old days. Back then one could be 3.2 beer if one was 18 yrs of age. To buy any other type of alcohol (including liquor and wine), one had to be 21. At that time a parent could buy alcohol for his/her minor children in a bar or resturant. I am not sure that is the case now, with 21 being the blanket age for all alcohol.

But I remember back in the 3.2 days when I was 22. After a basketball game my partner (was was 24 at the time) decided to go out for dinner together after the game. My partner's wife (who was 20 at the time, they had been married only about six months) and the girl (who was also 21) I was dating at the time attended the game with us. At the resturant, everybody ordered a beer. The waitress carded all of us and refused to give my partner's wife a beer. When my partner ordered two beers for himself, she refused to bring them both at the same time because she said the all he wanted the second beer for was to give it to his wife. So at the time, if my partner had had a minor son or daughter with him he could have bought them a beer, but he could not buy his wife a beer.
