Rogue community collage in Grants Pass,Or. evacuated today at 10:30 am for a bomb threat. My daughter works there in the book store. Both collages in Medford and Grants Pass. Police there and nothing found yet. Probably a hoax but no one can take any chances. Also a planned attack averted in Ca. high school when four students were planning to kill students. The nuts are coming out of the woodwork. Lots of crazies out there.

Was driving home from work one evening and heard on the radio that American Univ. in Wash. D.C. was on lock down do to a gun sighting. The school has shuttle buses from the school to the last train stop going to downtown D.C. Someone saw a person on the shuttle carrying a gun in a shoulder holster and reported it.
Turns out it was a off duty cop visiting his kid.

Wonder what they would think of 2 15 yr olds walking down the street with a 303 British enfield rifle and the other with a marlin lever action 22 over there shoulders. My buddy would come over weekends and every other day during summer and we would head out for a day of unobstructed carnage on local wildlife. We didn't drive so we walked to were ever we went. Occasionally the local cop drove by and we would wave and walk on. Times have sure changed. Paranoia every were, apparently needed.  |

Paranoia every were, apparently needed. don't the rifles have to be in a case if transporting in your state, even if 20-30 years ago or more? A person walking off their own property with a rifle or pistol fully exposed in most cases will get you in trouble with the local authorities in most all places I would think? Pretty sad the younger generation (not 100% sure on just the younger generation but pretty sure on that) thinks it is funny and a joke to do something like this. If caught, they deserve more than a slap on the wrist. I got a prank phone call once on my craigslist posting selling my kid's skateboard/bike ramps from a young punk drunk way far out of state sounded like at a party other kids laughing in the background. I told him if he calls back I will hunt him down and he will be sorry and don't EVER call me back EVER again. Kids think prank phone calls are funny, I do NOT!  |

Nope, not in PA while on foot... if in a vehicle (or in Philly) it is a different story... but on foot, its OK. That is not to say that someone wont call in with the MWAG call, and you may get stopped, but there is not much that the LEO can do (legally) while open carrying a firearm while on foot in PA. |

This was in the late 50. I was 15 and my first gun I bought myself was a Winchester 22 auto. I walked in to the neighborhood Ace Hdwr store. Told the guy I wanted the 22 Winchester he had. Asked me if OK with your dad I replied sure no problem. Paid the main walked out and run about 20 thousand rounds through it before I graduated high school. Then I graduated to the big guns including a 22 darenger. Believe I bought it before graduating. Had about 4-5 guns before graduating. Oh , did I say my dad gave me a 12 GA for my 14th birthday and a model A pu for my 15th. Life was good. |

Oh and if you talk to those who were a teen age in the 50s. Today is like living in a cnsentration camp compared to then. Life is controlled today then you were free. God and religion was the dominent thing. You got your ass beat with a belt or stick if deserved it. In grade school the teacher took you in the back room and knew what a yardstick felt like. Didn't have all this crazy crap today. Kids feared there parents if they did wrong. Yes they had parents back then. Wonder what's wrong today?  |

I told him if he calls back I will hunt him down and he will be sorry and don't EVER call me back EVER again. Kids think prank phone calls are funny, I do NOT! Not here. When I was in High School thre were a number of us that brought Firearms to school (left them in our vehicles of course) but many were in gun racks in the back window of our trucks or just sitting in the front seat. We would go hunting before school and after ball practice. Hell we even had teachers want us to go out to the parking lot and let them see our newest guns. I even carried a pocket knife from my first day in school til the day I graduated, if a teacher needed something cut or a knife for any reason they would come borrow mine as they knew I always had one and this was between 74-85. We were just taught differently than kids today. There were always loaded guns in my home and I knew were they were but also knew that until I turned about 15 if I got them out when mom or dad wasn't home my ass would have been handed to me but when they were there I was free to take them out and shoot anytime I wanted no questions ask. One of the biggest problems I see today is lack of parents dicipline of their children. The kids can do whatever they want with ZERO consequence. If more parents would spend time with their kids and make a consequence for something done wrong when young a lot of the stuff we see today would not happen. IMHO |

Graduated HS in 1978. Traditionally for probably decades, the Senior Class for PE in the fall would go out and shoot clay pigeons. Second period class. We would come to school with our shotguns, in cases of course, and shells. Put them in the locker. PE class time we would go to our locker between class to get our guns and head out to the bus. Mr. Kraai would drive us out to the make shift range, a city owned area, up on a hill overlooking the sewer lagoons. We each get 5 shots. Pile on the bus and head back to school.
I believe we were the last class that had the honor. A school consolidation and Coach Kraai's retirement sealed the deal.
I don't think it ever occurred to anyone that this was wrong somehow. And through all the years, not a single massacre. Just Common sense and respect.

You might have a little disagreement from women and black people about that well I agree there are issues in all generations. Racial and others. My perspective at that age as is with many was I lived in my own bubble. Politics race were not on my bucket list. When I started working at 15 in a body shop my mentor and best friend was a 50ish black guy who taught me all about body work. Was a very good friend. I ended up owning the shop in partner with another friend and he stayed on working for us. As I got older he enlightened me of may of the racial issues he lived with. I didn't have time for world issues. |

My son works right next to that college in medford. Said it was quite a mess. I think five years mandatory would stop most of the fake calls. |
