as mentioned above I guess in redneck country people do what they want?
I carried from second grade through 12th & 8 years of college, but I really didnt carry alot in grade school, but still did some, & I bought several guns in school, we traded & sold guns & knives for extra cash. I saw literally hundreds of guns in school, both boys & girls.
guns were "not allowed" but it was done, I remember in typing class a guy had hurt his hand & wasn't able to type, so he was cleaning a pistol in class, teaches says to put that away. she was afraid with him messing with it it might go off. or to see a teacher or janitor walking down hall with any kind of gun to trade or sell to another teacher or student. students kept rifles on the rack in their trucks to show off their toys. sometimes a parent or the students ride would drop off student with a long gun or student would take bus with rifle or shotgun, & student would take gun to principals office to leave until school was out & walk home to hunt or have a different ride to where was planning to hunt or to go home.
besides fist fights only 1 incident that I am aware of happened in high school, a student pulled a switchblade on a teacher for pulling him up trying to make him square dance, & he was strung out on drugs.
in college I had a teacher fuss at me, I had my gun in my coat pocket instead of on me, & when he went by my desk he hit his knee hard & asked what it was & I told him & he said just "keep it out of his way, & to put it in my pants pocket & that his knee hurt" & alot of us carried in college, & I graduated twice, & was in 2 different colleges & guns were everywhere in both.
what years? from 1980 in high school to 1993 in college plus alot of my grade school years.
