Ditto. We did the same thing in Iowa. Buck knife in the pouch worn to school, shotgun in the car/truck on school grounds. An "active shooter" would have been risking his life in those days.

T is my opinion that the violence n entertainment has gotten more graphic. Those of my generation were raised with vivolence that was not as graphic as it is today.
Messing with still forming brains by altering their chemistry at that stage plays a part as well.

Great quote from the Sheriff... "The gun didn't change, we changed."
