I bought a rifle at school.  A kid brought it to school and stored it in 
his locker.  After classes we traded money and rifle and I carried it to 
my car.  Along the way I showed it to a teacher.  It was an old Mossberg 
target .22.  Many times I would be deer hunting with my father in the 
morning and drive my car to school with my rifle in the front seat, an 
old Springfield 03-A3.  Early 60s in Missouri.

During the late 70s President Carter came to Spokane Washington in the 
aftermath of Mt St Hellens.  There was a big stink on the national news 
about a man with a gun in downtown town Spokane when carter was 
speaking.  I lived in Spokane at the time and the real issue was a man 
with a gun in a gun rack in the back window of his pickup just passing 
through.
