>brought guns to school for show and tell
Me in the early 1960s. Lived in rural MI and rode the school bus to school. Took my single barrel 12 gauge shotgun to school one day for show & tell. Sixth grade. When I got on the school bus, the bus driver said "That better be unloaded." I showed him it was and we were good. Always carried a jackknife too.
Totally different time it was.
