“I grew up in a small Idaho town and we frequently had guns at school. In the year books there are pictures of us as a club with our guns. We just competed among ourselves and not with other schools. No one was outraged, no one went crazy, it was a normal part of life.
I also carried a knife every day of my life from the age 8 up until 9/11. Because I fly so frequently, I don’t carry knives as frequent. The TSA has taken more than one of mine, it took me a while to break that habit.”
“I am the same age and remember shooting at two of my local high schools, La Sierra and El Camino (Both in Sacramento) which both had rifle teams. And this was in California in the late 70’s. I took hunters safety at one of them to get my hunting license.
El Camino’s range was indoors but La Sierra was outdoors and both were on the same property as the high school.”
“I made a new stock for my Ruger 10/22 out of a 2” thick blank of black walnut in my high school woodworking class for my class project back in the mid 1980s. I never brought the complete firearm to school, but just the barrel and empty receiver so I could do the inletting. Imagine me doing that today!
Oh, and BTW I got an A+ on it.”–conversations on 1911Forum.com
High school gun courses can be traced back to World War 1, then during World War 2 the federal government actually sponsored high school shooting clubs, but between the late 1970s-90s (November 1999 Chicago Schools abolishes JROTC gun courses), almost all U.S. high schools ended their Marksmanship training courses. False Flag alert: Note that the rise of gun violence in schools coincide with the ending of scholastic gun training courses. But since the 11 September 2001 attacks, many local high schools returned to gun training for teenagers.
