Hell, we were able to take guns to school with us into the early 80s for hunting after school.
The rules were simple. If you drove, the gun had to stay locked in your car. Guns weren’t to be taken on the bus so a parent had to bring you and the gun had to be left in the principal’s office till the end of the school day.
If I were to go into town right now I know of 3 businesses where at least some of the employees are openly carrying. The hardware used to have a sign in the front window that announced the fact that the owner and employees were armed. Its been some 30 years since there was a murder in this town.
If one person in your town killed another, the total population would decrease by 10% after one person heads to prison, the other to a morgue.
