A far cry from when it was pretty common to see rifles in racks in pick up trucks when I went to high school. Nobody even blinked then. And this was in the middle of Albuquerque. Not quite as liberal as the town is now.(understatement!) It was so NOT liberal back then that when jessuh jackshun came to town, the cops told him “Not here. You’re not causing any trouble here.” So away he went. Not racist, just no riots.
Yep. Rifles and shotguns in pickup trucks, every guy had a Buck knife on his belt. Somehow, nobody got shot or stabbed.
Same when I was in high school in Northern Idaho. I remember that opening day of elk season, half the boys were absent. I remember that my buddy and I would get these afternoon bouts of sickness until we filled our deer tags. Everyone knew what was going on and no one cared since we both kept our grades up.

It didn’t take too long until people learned not to carry rifles in them.
Seems the rifles would disappear. Then you begin to see just empty racks
then it was back to no racks at all.
