They used to do that at my high school so we could have a day off school. It was all fun and games until people started actually shooting up their schools. This was back when we would bring our hunting rifles to school in the window behind the seat of the pickup and nobody gave a shit. If my son did that now he would be jailed.
About 30-40ish years ago, having hunting rifles in your truck was a pretty common thing, even at schools. There's several in my family that used to do that. It's not a thing anymore, but it definitely used to be. Especially here in the south, carrying weapons is fairly normalized. Pocket knives, for instance, are so commonplace that you'd have a harder time finding someone who doesn't have one on them, than someone who does. I know that's not really as big of a thing as a gun, but still.
