I graduated in the late 80's. I remember having my gun in the gun rack parked in the school parking lot. It was one of many trucks with the same.

Now I would get suspended and probably have to go through some therapy to figure out what's going on in my head.

Unfortunately, today we have people doing bad things more and more frequently. Society is definitely changed. This goes for the kids in the schools to the adults.

As a parent, I don't have any problem with the school systems watching over our kids more diligently than ever before.

It is definitely a small inconvenience to go through all of the paperwork and checks, but well worth it if it helps in some small way to protect our children.

And yes, I did say late 80's. It will be 25 years this year....
