When I was in high school in ABQ in the mid 60’s, it wasn’t uncommon to see rifles in rifle racks in some of the pick up trucks in the school parking lot. Nobody ever raised an eyebrow to it. Today, there would be a school lock down for a 10 mile radius of the location in case the gun decided to go on a rampage. We have become a nation of idiots.
Yeah. High school in the ‘80s, in south Georgia. Rifles and shotguns in the trucks, Buck knives on the belts. There may have been a fistfight or two, but nobody got shot or stabbed.
