I disagree pard and I grew up in Mississippi in the 1960s and 1970s
We hunted before school at Jackson Prep and left guns in our cars in the parking lot. Nobody brought guns into school lockers or closets
Later at Ole Miss we had our hunting gear in dorms first year when you had to live on campus
But I would have never brought one in a classroom building
I can see children in frontier areas having firearms in school buildings to thwart dangerous marauders or Comanche attacks...or to use coming to and from school
It's great that you didn't have to worry about them getting stolen from your car.
