guess its nice living in a bit of a backwater cause im all of 27.......i was 
still in school when Columbine happened, hell i watched it happen on the news 
during history class, and yet i was still allowed to be carrying a pocket 
knife to school everyday...a couple teachers would occasionally ask to borrow 
it...we usually has a pickup loaded to the roof with hunting gear including 
"high powered sniper rifles" parked across the street from the school cause 
as soon as the last bell rang we were headed out hunting and every teacher 
knew we had guns sitting in our vehicles all of 100 yards from where we were 
siting in the classroom......

course it also helped teach yah to respect property cause if yah didnt know 
where you were at and wondered on to the wrong guys land you might wind up 
with a few exra holes in your hide or in your vehicle......not to mention if 
they just called yah in to the cops you were going to get an arse beating 
from your dad....we did alo of stupid crap growing up.....darn near killed 
each other on many occasions but other peoples property was left 
alone....short of playing a joke on buddies..
