Sad but true is correct.

I remember seeing firearms carried down the halls of my highschool into the shop/ag classrooms so they could be fitted into the gun rack/cabinets the students were building. Easy Rider rifle racks were very common in our parking lots. One of my classmates built an awesome crossbow in a shop class then proceeded to bounce a bolt off the back of the football stadium and we all got a good laugh about it. We had a teacher who kept rolling papers in her purse.

Did we all grow up as criminals? I guess it depends on who you ask.
