Or, sometimes I think I went to school in the 50s.
We used to get the phoney bomb threats in the late 70's. The guns were left in the parking lot. I heard that the principal asked kids to leave their deer rifles in his office a couple years after I left. I think it was more to prevent them from being stolen along with the stereos in pre-surveillance America.
