I was guilty of that when I was going hunting after school. Also, I didn't lock the truck. Other kids did that as well. Never had or heard of any problems.
50 years ago many pickup trucks on a high school parking lot had a rifle in the rear window, and there were no school shootings.
What changed?
Sacred Heart of Mary, pray for us now, and at the hour of our death. AMEN

Tell'em I'll be there.
Yes, I was raised with guns in the back window and under the seat. Never locked truck. Wow- what a change.
Back in the 1970s, when I went to school in a "rough" neighborhood, the principal requested we leave our firearms in his office ! On just about any day, there was 3 or 4 leaning in the corner.
I remember walking down the hallway with my shotgun, or .22 many times !!! Just picture what would happen today !

Another thing that has changed is there use to be a lot of old people hanging around everywhere. I don't see or know many anymore.

Yep, me and a buddy ran trap line in morning before school, dropped animals off at commercial trappers freezer on way to school and hid guns in hollow oak tre out front of school. That was in middle school before we even had trucks. Almost every truck on high school campus had gun rack with guns in em. Never even thought about using them for anything but hunting. I remember in high school the Nintendo game consoles got popular and peoples passion for outdoors started changing. Lost several good friends because they didnt want to do anything but play Asteroids or Pacman. Had no interest being couped up watching blips on tv so quit going around them. Not sure but I honestly feel video games has a large piece of the puzzle. Maybe not the games themselves directly, but drawing people into a lifestyle that makes them stir crazy. JMHO.
