40 years ago every school boy had a pocket knife and a whetstone. No problems were ever encountered because of them.

I read in an old magazine of a kid taking an origional Bowie knife to school for “show and tell”, and I remember a kid taking an original 1812 military pistol to school for the same reason.

Our local school expelled a boy several years ago for taking a hunting knife to school to give it to another student the day before hunting season opened.

Even my supervisor, who was on the school board voted for the expulsion. I could not believe it as he was a farm raised kid!

Today these idiots running these schools would go into “lockdown” and pee all over themselves.

What has happened to the US! They act as if they had been caught by someone with a pair of Burduzios in their youth!

50 years ago boys in Baltimore city could take their pistols to school on the transit bus if they were on the pistol team. The shooting range was in the basement of a very large public school.

When I was in school we, for recreation, went shooting on school property with *gasp* real guns with faculty behind the auto shop.
