I graduated High School in 1993 and even just that far back we had guns in our pickups for hunting. During hunting season every guy in high school wore their hunting clothes, and hunting knives to school. We would sign ourselves out at noon, go hunt over lunch, then come back and sign ourselves back in. If one of us actually got a deer we would take it down to the ag building , hoist him up on the aframe we used for pulling engines and help the guy butcher and package it during ag class.
We had a school shooting that year. The priciple came and got be because a cottonmouth had a teacher cornered in the womens bathroom (She was standing on a windowseal a good six feet off the floor) and the sheriff was a half hour away. I shot the bugger with the shotgun outa my truck and then hauled him outside. Was danged near deaf for a month setting off a 2 1/2 inch 20 gauge #6 in that concrete bathroom. But the snake was dead, the teacher was safe, and I didn't have to repair the toilet that cracked from ricochetted pellets. Toilet was older than me anyway, it needed to be replaced.
Man it will never be that good again. . . . .

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
