And yes, I and others brought our shotguns on the school bus for trap shooting in physical education. Everyone participated either with their own gun, a friends gun, or a school owned and armored gun. Everyone had to pass a hunters and shooters safety written exam prior to shooting, and when you passed the unit you received your state hunters safety certificate...I still use the cert I earned 30 years ago to get a hunting license.
