[AT] OT if you ever wondered what to do for friend who hasitall when his 60th birthday is coming.

[Al Jones]

Bringing your rifle to school was still happening in eastern NC as late as

in the gunrack of their trucks.  Everybody knew they were deer hunting 
before and after school, and thought nothing of it.
