Same here in VT high school, class of 84... We all had Buck Folding knives on our belts, too. Noone thought a thing about it!

Elementary school age, Cub Scout member. On days we had "den" meetings after school at one of the members homes, we wore our uniforms to school. Part of the uniform was our folding knives which hung from a hook on our belt. We could have the knives on us at school as long as we followed 3 rules:
1. They were to never to be used as a weapon
2. They were never to be used to mark or scratch on our desks
3. They were never to be used to cut off some girls ponytail. Yes, that is a very true rule
Violation of any of these rules led to confiscation, punishment, and you and all other scouts would never be allowed to have knives at school again. Greatest fear of scouts? Causing your fellow scouts not to be allowed to carry their knives because of something you did wrong. Different times for sure.
Anybody know who's on first?
Same in Virginia. At about 12 my father taught me how to make black powder. That quickly morphed into more potent explosives. All was good, including setting the basement ablaze (very small fire, only lost my eyebrows), until we started making pipe bombs. The cops confiscated one and put it under a 55 gallon steel drum. Blew it to shreds and about 80 feet high. Pop got a call and that was the end of that.
"He was such a a good child, I dont know what happened to him.". LOL.
My scouting came to an end when I got caught with a bottle of Cutty Sark whiskey on a winter camp out. I was only 12 and couldn’t afford something better
I honestly wasn’t drinking it—I figured it would be a good way to get a fire started
Graduated in ‘72, had the same thing and no one locked their doors and on warm days even left the windows down. Never any problems. Small town Kansas
I got asked about my folding knife on the belt. I was waiting for the “prohibition”, but it never came.
45-70, a hammerless 38, and some basic cleavage? Damn, someone is getting lucky.
Back when it was understood that with freedom, comes responsibility. And people took that responsibility seriously.
How to we get back to that…and away from the entitlement that permeates our culture now? I honestly don’t know what the right answer will be, but hope it doesn’t take a collapse and rebuilding of civilization. We worked so hard to get where we are…well, where were anyway, and I don’t want my kids or grandkids to have to rebuild from scratch.
We just found out our son and his wife are having our first grandchild in September (!) and it’s definitely changed our perspective. I’m hopeful, but there’s certainly a lot more anxiousness going into my thought processes these days.
Wait… What????
There were guns in that picture????? All I noticed was the red hair…….
That is what she got after the divorce.
She's cute enough, but why would she be siting there with those rifles with the magazines locked in pointed at her???
Good grief. Unless she was filming a scene for Final Destination she's safer there than driving, showering, walking down/up stairs and going to a doctor.
Have you seen any actually fire themselves?
Have you not heard of the SIG P320
I've noticed a lot of sexual innuendos have been added to this show. Seems each episode has some sort of implied sexual question! I think Steve Harvey's surprised face is a little over played at this point!
No, I'm not a blast at parties! I'm probably the guy to bitch about the loud mouthed women, and judge the soft men with their faggot hairdos!
So are you a member of the club of men that gets "the look" from the SWMBO at parties whenever they start to say something?
Was that the one where the FBI agent did a backflip on the dance floor and it dropped out of his pants. Then it shot someone when he picked it up?
I have to constantly remind myself that God is in control and he has ordained that every child would be born during a certain period of time, in a certain place and circumstances. We do the best we can and leave the results to God.
My wife is a ginger… even her satanic soul would never point a gun in the wrong direction!
I’m trying to remember whether he shot someone else or himself….
FBI agent avoids jail time after gun fires while dancing
The shot struck a man in the leg, seriously wounding him

He shot a man in the leg.
I haven't seen one go boom without someone acting upon it.
This is the MPT and there's plenty of threads on the subject so
Back to regular schedule program.
Looks like Deal's Gap. a.k.a. Tail of the Dragon. Except instead of a bicycle, it's a Hardley Ableson leading the way.
That happened at some party downtown here in Denver so it was on the news. He shot someone in the leg, that guy got some taxpayer funded payout, & the fagbi agent got a a finger wagging telling him to be better but no real trouble
Fellows, we’re gonna be in trouble shortly..
According to this map, our continent is going to collide with China and Russia pretty soon. Maybe we won’t see it but in just a few (well maybe more than a few) million years, we are going to share a border with both china and Russian.
And guess what states are going to be on that border??? California, Oregon and Washington State. Now there are plenty of really good people in those states but along the coast where the continents are going to merge, is all the lefties. It’s gonna be a problem. We need to build a wall quick, along the tip of the Serria Nevada’s to keep all those ruskies and commies out of our country.
