"Some schools have, or had, rifle and shotgun teams, so then there would be a reason to take one of those to school as well."
I spent Saturday with 400 high school and Junior High school kids..all armed!!!!!
Not one person was hurt..but a lot of pigeons where broken (clay!!!)
These where trap teams...proof..guns don't kill people..people kill people...!!!
Then you may have been with my nephew, who shoots for the team affiliated with North Star, IIRC. It's his second year and last year he did very well in the state meet at Doniphan. Placed just out of the top 10 after the shoot off. Competed with his grandfather's old JC Higgens, but has a new gun this year.
