I don’t remember it ever coming up.
I do remember some of our teachers going out to student’s cars or pick ups to look at and admire their new rifles.
Lol...can you imagine? Well you can...you were there.
One of my older brothers remembers going on a “field trip” with his first grade teacher. They were in MS. Can’t remember if it was Greenville or Biloxi at the time. Anyway, this is the same teacher that once had tied him up with a jump rope because he wouldn’t settle down.
Part of the “field trip” included taking the class to her trailer and showing them her handgun. :) This was in the early 1960s. About 1964.
Different world.
