Ditto. HS was only 30 years ago for me, but pretty much the same existence. Every boy (and some girls) had a pocketknife and at least a deer/hog rifle, a shotgun, or a .22 in a gun rack. I once pulled over in the pasture in front of our house while coming home from school and folded up a coyote harassing my FFA show steer and my English teacher happened to roll up in her car. Rolled down the passenger's side window and yelled, "DID YOU GET HIM?!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

This right here. I used to go deer and dove hunting with my students before school. We'd have to park off-campus and walk to the building, but it was nothing for the kids to carry firearms in their pickups. Local PD never even batted an eye.

Whoops. Darwin at work again. Looks like a team tried to pick off some kid in Arizona only to discover he was strapped. A female tried to distract the young man while another man crept up on him with a knife to take the vehicle. At some point, this young tiger got his weapon and connected with his target in a very personal manner. What's more, he kept his cool and discriminated between an armed target and an unarmed one. The female didn't get shot.

Looks like he won't be charged, but the surviving female member of the team will be charged with felony murder because she got her accomplice killed in the process of trying to commit armed robbery and carjacking.

Well done. Hope this kid can process it in a healthy manner and go on about his business.
