I also like to point out that my father required his students to take their guns to school—on the bus. He was the Rifle Team coach. Students would also take in their guns to work on in shop class.
When I was in Jr. High one of the kids made a nice wood case for his dad’s Smith & Wesson. Brought it to school to fit the case. He was complimented on making a nice gift for someone else rather than something for himself. Hadn’t thought about that until I read your reply.
It sickens me that a national campaign hasn’t been aired to highlight such things. I do my part, but I just don’t have the reach of the NRA or GOP.
