I don't recall if we had conversation about this image when you posted it in 2013, Eric, but I do recall that guns were not treated horribly in the '40s and '50s. We had a week-long 6th grade camp, a sleep-over camp where we learned all kinds of outdoors stuff and even shot .22 rifles on the range. My high school had a .22 range in the basement and we had a rifle team that brought their cased guns to school and stored them in their lockers. No one thought twice about seeing the guns in school or on the bus! It really was a different world. When my kids were in the 6th grade, they also went to a similar camp. Only by then, the '70s, we had parents complaining that they didn't want their kids exposed to those horrible weapons of death (I mean the .22s, not the teachers). They were told to keep their kids at home that week. Stu Image below from Eric Freburg - Image Title: schooltraining Image Info: I just saw this on facebook and knew you all would like to see it. Student in school getting firearms instruction from the teacher. Circa late 40's early 50's, just as a guess.  |
