Especially during hunting season. One particular event sticks in my mind: Off duty Deputy had to grab his rifle from his rack to stop a racial fight on campus. He did his job. They stopped fighting at the end of a rifle pointed at them. Broke apart and went home. No school authority or parent outcry.
We thought nothing of the gun rack with a rifle on it that later became umbrella holders after THEY outlawed the right a decade later. Clinton's were in the WH then. There is a connection. 👍
