Dick Corrente, now middle-aged, grew up on guns. As a child, he carried his .22-caliber pistol wherever he went. Heck, he said, everyone carried a gun in Ventura in those days.

Weekend gun shows have been forced out of the fairgrounds in Los Angeles County, but they are alive and well in Ventura County as evidenced by a two-day show that begins today at the Seaside Park fairgrounds in Ventura.

"This still is America," said Betty Williams, 73, of Ojai.
