Ya know, when I was in school we'd have loaded shot guns - in the open on headache racks - in our unlocked pickups with the windows rolled down - parked in the school parking lot and there was never a school shooting. It's only been since all this PC gun control bs and schools' knee jerk zero tolerance policies that we've had all these problems.
I went to high school not so very far away from the school in this story. I was on the rifle team, and we kept the rifles at the school, cleaned them there, and carried them all over. Nobody thought anything of it.
but why did you have loaded shotguns?
