In Junior High we would grab our guns and walk out of town to the country to hunt rabbits ans pheasants. Can you imagine the response now walking through town with a black evil .22 lever action assault weapon. Much less walking back through town carrying small dead animals.
When 7 yrs old I was chewed royally for driving a tractor into to see Grandpa.Didn’t understand that at the time as I raked hay etc on the same tractor.
In middle school, we would hunt pheasant on our way home from school. We had to leave our shotguns with the principal during the school day, but we walked right into school with them, and walked right out of school after all the busses had left with them. Fourth graders weren't allowed to do that, we had to be 5th or 6th grade.
