ok...that is what I was hoping you were saying...
It just looked like you were advocating high schoolers be allowed to carry concealed. :)
No problem....
In the olden days, 1700s, 1800s, did kids, 13, 14 ,15, and younger, carry guns? Yes.
Were they more mature than kids nowadays? Probably, but the reason was that maturity was thrust upon them.
They knew that if they used that firearm, it'd better be for a damn good reason.
They could get hung, literally, for using that firearm.
Now they can't even get the death penalty. What's stopping them from committing a murder or two? They can always hit the reset button.
In this day and age, I wish that there was more of a return to the days of yore.
