this could even be compared from now to the 1980s...i took a gun to school in 1988 and was only kicked out of school for the rest of the year...no cops, nothing...change has come quite rapidly in the school system actually

did u get tired of the cool kids making u wear a dress so u carried the gun to school????

Obviously if someone saw it...u had to pull it out

no I am quite sure the 50's could not be compared to the 80's

Just because u carried a gun too school to impress or scare someone does not throw u back to the Eisenhower years and their way of life in the US as we are talking about...
