There were occasionally shotguns and rifles in the pickup trucks of some country students, at my high school.

We used to take our rifles to shop to apply wooden inlays to the stocks. Of course, we weren’t being taught to kill each other if someone bullied or “dissed” us in those days.

Because of break in in the parking lot, we would get in trouble if we left them in the truck. We were required to bring our shotguns into school and put them in our locker (if we had the long lockers) or with a coach/teacher.

Same here, only is more than just occasionally.

And we sharpened our pocket knives in shop class.

Heck, I even machined and fabricated an entire roughly 1/3 scale Civil War cannon as my shop project - and test fired it in the empty field just outside the school fence with a bunch of students, teachers and even the school’s principle watching and a reporter from our newspaper covering the event and taking pictures.

Times change.
