S&W Model 41...

[AGE]

I shot on a rifle team in middle and high school for about 3 years. I carried my own rifle to and from school (with ammo and ear plugs in my pockets) 2 days a week--stood it in a corner of the various classrooms during the day.

Some teachers raised their eyebrows a little, but there were 4 or 5 others who used their own rifles (and carried them). In those days many schools around the country had rifle teams (even in NY, NY). As you guys said above, the world has changed a whole lot.
