I remember carrying an AK 47 in a soft case to school in my ROTC uniform, I was going to the rifle range after school with a buddy who's dad was qualifying for law enforcement. I also remember taking firearms to school for hunter safety classes.
Coming in late to school on opening day of deer season and the principle meeting you at the door asking if you done good on your hunt.
I remember growing up learning to respect fire arms and being instructed how to use them and what they where to be used for (hunting and self protection). I also remember when you broke the law you where held accountable for your actions.
I also remember being taught to be a good loser and you dont get a trophy for participating. Doing what my parents ask, and not understanding why, but didn't question what I was ask to do because if I did, I knew I be visiting the wood shed. I remember when going to church knowing that I better behave when there and show respect. I also remember being taught that saying yes Sir and yes Mam when how I answer my elders out if respect. We started every day at school saying the Pledge and saying the lords prayer. If we missed behave in school we got the paddle, no one want to have the PE teacher being called to bring his paddle!
