When I was in high school in the late 60's and early 70's, we'd get up at 5 AM, go jump potholes and kill a few Mallards, bring them to school (after gutting them of course) in the back of the truck, and there they would sit until we could again go jump potholes after school. My double barrel shotgun would sit in my truck's gun rack all day.
My teachers would want to hold it.
During duck and goose season, there were a lot of weapons in the trucks in the parking lot.
You should have seen the races to get to the potholes after school!
Here in Northern CA in the 1950s when I was in school we would bring our guns to school during deer season and hunt after school. The hill directly behind the school usually contained several prime bucks and we would make a drive down the hill to the standers at the bottom. Everyone knew what a gun was and how to handle it safely. No one ever shot a fellow student(No where in the USA at that time if I recall correctly). As a matter of fact it was still legal to buy a gun through the mail and drive by shootings were mostly unheard of except when talking about the 1920s and prohibition.
Now, of course we have the liberal view that has been brewing in schools since the 1960s and look what it has wrought. What jerks and maroons, they have ruined our country and we have to take it back.
