Yeah, and the high schools weren't paranoid about what kids brought to school. We were allowed to carry small pocketknives (the principal's judgment defined "small" - pretty much all he excluded were switchblades.) And, at least in rural Ohio, if a farm kid drove his truck to school and still had his rifle in the gun rack, the principal didn't lock down the school; he took the kid over to his truck and showed him HIS rifle. Then they talked hunting until school started.
