Re: Only in Texas
We carried rifles in the trucks we drove to school, especially during hunting season, but nothing inside the school. We did not think about it, even consider it, don't know what is going on these days. Hell, the teachers and principal would come out and look at them, of course that was 32 years ago.

Well, 50 yr ago when I was going to school, yes I did go to school, :laugh: we also had our gun hanging on a gun rack or under the seat and didn't even have to lock our vehicle.
No problem then with someone coming on campus and shooting kids and teachers. Never had any accidents wit guns either. In this part of the country you grew up with guns, respected them and knew how to use them. Man if you just held the trigger back and pumped that old model 12 winchester it shot like an automatic. Held 7 shells wow what a weapon then.

A pat on the back for Texas. Utah has always been an open gun state where one could carry a gun on them or with them as long as it was in plain site. Now with all the school shootings they are outlawing guns in schools for everyone even those with concealed gun permits and its has caused an uproar at some of the colleges.

Re: Only in Texas
When I was 16 years old (couple of years ago) growing up in Utah, I worked as a busboy and bought a fast draw Ruger Single 6 .22 pistol. I walked into the sporting goods store and bought it without having to have a parent with me or register the pistol. But then 1 year later I joined the Marine Corps and they issued me my own .45 auto to carry along with my Bazooka (3.5 Rocket launcher).
I didn't carry my Ruger pistol to school, but I would often strap on my fast draw rig and jump on my Vespa motor scooter and drive 4 or 5 miles out to the sage brush and hunt rabbits. We all carried rifle/shotguns in our back window of our pickups, even to school.
Now that California has invaded SLC, nobody would dare leave a gun exposed in their rear window.

Re: Only in Texas
Light years? You know when you get up in years you just aren't sure about how many years ago something happened. I can still remember having a Ruger Single action .22 so I figured it must have been just a couple of years ago. I couldn't be older than 18, could I???????
