“I grew up in West Texas and South Louisiana, in the 60s. Often I would take my shotgun to school in my pickup as we could hunt after school was out. I was not an exception and this was normal amongst the kids that hunted. The thought of using a weapon in an illegal manner never even crossed our minds. I did not even lock the door of my pickup.”
See my Post 60 about cop over-reaction last week in West Texas.
Grew up in the seventies. I remember seeing a kid carrying a gun (rifle) down the hallway one day. Didn’t think a thing about it. He was going to use it as a prop for speech class.
