You must have gone to my high school. We would go duck hunting in the morning and roll into school. We didn’t have a first period.
I remember when the High-School age boys would carry 22 rifles on the bus for the gun classes after school.
They also had a collection of rather wimpy looking 22 revolvers for the kids to practice with but for some reason the boys were not allowed to carry them on the bus, they were kept in the coaches office.
All the boys carried knives, some of the girls as well...
No problems at all with violence at the school...
It was a Leave It To Beaver world...
