Never took an actual weapon to school , however in my senior year in high school I had a substitute young lady teacher who I volunteered being the outstanding young man that I was and always wanting too help to go by her house for a season and cut her lawn , etc . I would always refuse money from her .

So I guess after a while to try to pay me back somehow she started on occasion inviting me on fri and sat early evenings for a home cooked dinner , my first taste of BoonesFarm and Ripple wines . Then afterwards would " tutor " me scholastically being a Teacher to prepare me for life in general . What a nice young lady . 💃 Great Golly Ms Molly as Little Richard used too say ! ........
 
In high school we had rifle club in the basement of the gym. .22 single shots.

We had early dismissal on Fridays - 1:40. Several of us would bring bows, shotguns or rifles to school in our cars, depending on the season, and go hunting as soon as we got out. Interestingly, I was a little runt in high school and was constantly bullied by upperclassmen. I never had a thought in my mind to go our to the car, get a gun and teach the bullies a lesson.
 
Vaquero, she may have been 'great', but Little Richard thought she was just 'good golly Ms Molly'. You sound like you have a little Charlie Harper in you, LOL.

Your absolutely correct about how the LIL Richard saying went . I stand corrected, now you just made me realize for years I have been saying the phrase incorrectly . LOL

As far as Charlie Harper , never heard of him .
 
When I was in high school, virtually every guy in our school carried a pocket knife, and a lot were rather large lockblade knives. A lot of us liked to play "chicken" in the school yard between the cafeteria and the band room, under a mimosa tree. This was also the smoking area, for both teachers and students. We'd try to stick our knife as close as we could to the other guy's foot without sticking them, and the object was to let the other guy stick their knife directly against the sole of your shoe/boot and not move your foot. No one ever drew blood that I'm aware of, although, I did have a hole in one of my boots.
 
Oh... In HS I also wore those knee high mocassins like Daniel Boone wore in the TV show, and I carried a fixed blade hunting knife in my right moc every day. Nobody cared. Nobody got cut. Nobody ever even got threatened with a knife, even though everyone had one, and no one ever got shot. It was a much more civilized and respectful time.

I believe corporal punishment was the key. I know for a fact that it kept me in line, and it didn't scar my psyche. The milk-toast weenies that say it's "child abuse" are full of crap. It's child education and social behavior training that EVERYONE should have available to them. Dished out within reason, it's vital to producing civilized members of our society.
