Really? Back in 1959 my Brother was in a Gun Club at his High School. We lived on Long Island at the time.

He carried his .22 Bolt Action Rifle to School twice a week.
They had an inside Gun Range. I think it was in the Gymnasium Basement.

Nobody batted and eye when he was walking down the Street toward School carrying his Rifle Case.

Yep, times were different then.

I recall Justice Scalia telling about his youth, and he was in a shooting class. He carried his weapon on the New York subway.

Many things have changed over the decades. Some for the better but some definitely for the worse.

The title should be "U.S. High Schools Embrace Shooting as Hot New Old Sport."
