Dave1647545494 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 A lot has changes since 73. Not to say that the things are right but things like bringing guns to school? Was that ever needed? my dad bought a gun from a teacher when he was in high school, they went hunting once or twice a month for a few years after that.... you have to put things in perspective a deer rifle in your truck becuase your going hunting after school is not the same as some punk with a grudge packing a tech 9 in his back pack...
