Did you have access to guns when you were in high school?

18. Yes

I remember taking a shotgun to school in 7th grade for a class demonstration on how to properly clean a shotgun. Brought it on the bus to get to school that morning, no problem. No ammo though. That was in the early 70's in the Midwest. In college, we kept both shotguns and rifles in our dorm room closets, for hunting. Had to register them with campus safety to have them on campus but could keep them in our rooms. Early 1980's era. Half of my Fraternity hunted, I suspect there were 30 -40 guns in our Fraternity house, never was any kind of an incident involving them. Couldn't have pistols on campus, though, back then long guns were common but not that many people owned pistols. This was prior to the widespread availability of semi-automatic pistols which occurred starting in the late 1980's/early 1990's, when police departments converted over from carrying revolvers.
