Yes we had guns in school. it was 1976 and the high school had 400 students. Several kids went out and trapped coons, & coyotes in the morning and brought whatever they got from their traps into school in the back of the truck. Yep, they had a little rifle behind the seat so they could humanely kill what may not have died in the trap.
Teachers knew it, hell even the principal knew it. I saw him out there one day talking to a couple of guys while holding up a raccoon.

I worried more about the kid that was a black belt in karate than I ever did about the kids that hunted and trapped.
