“In our rural Texas high school in the late ‘50s, boys had their guns in their unlocked lockers all day, so they could go hunting after school. There never was a problem with either theft or murder. That’s because all the children in our school were reared by Christian parents who expected responsibility from an early age.”

Had a similar experience when growing up in rural Arkansas (I’m 68). We kept shotguns and rifles in our cars, many were stashed in gun racks on the back window of pickups. My freshman year of college at Arkansas Tech which was/is located in very rural Arkansas, I kept my deer rifle in my dorm room. I got in trouble with the dorm mom for having Playboy pinups taped on my room walls and had to remove them but not a word was ever said about my deer rifle. The times have indeed changed......

Shotguns and deer rifles in gun racks in windows of pick ups were common in my Texas high school parking lot in the late 70s. No one ever thought anything about it.
