Back in the early ‘60s my friends and I would bring our shotguns to school during hunting season and keep them in the truck of our cars. After school we would hunt pheasants in the fields behind the school. No one ever felt threatened or had the need to find a “safe space”. Gone are those days...
In the mid 70’s, my buds and I would go duck hunting after school, so we had shotguns, shells, decoys and waders in our cars. In my speech class, I did a demonstration on how to tear down, clean and reassemble a pump gun. Carried it through the school, no problem.
