So what happens when your family is targeted in a Safe2Tell report?

Disregard. I misread a post.

Yep... You are a much better man than I am, dude. I couldn't take it these days. I seriously don't know how you, and all the other guys and gals like you, put on the uniform every day in today's anti-cop climate. But I'm REALLY glad you do. And I pray for all of you every day...for whatever that's worth.

By the time APD knocked on my door, at 10:45pm, the school had already been informed. I went to the door with a pistol in my hand and once I saw the uniform, I asked to see an ID through the closed and still locked door. Then I saw there were two of them, both in uniforms and a two patrol cars blocking my driveway. I opened the door and stepped outside. The officers were great BTW and basically said they had no choice, and it might be nothing, and then told me what was reported...I called my son down and the officers talked to him, in my presence. The asshat friend of my son who, from another state called it in was a belligerent Karen if ever there was one. One of my son's had said something to the other and had told his friend about it. It was really nothing at all. I had to call the school the next morning before my boys could return. It was like a really bad case of "telephone". I have no doubt there are good uses of this system, but so far, at my boys school, not a single one had been legit. Since I work security at the school, I get notified of all of the reports that come in to the school.

When I was in high school I took my Anschutz target rifle to school two days a week so I could go directly to early practice at the Arvada Rifle & Pistol Club. I kept it behind the seat in my '54 Ford truck or in the trunk of my '60 Ford Falcon in the school parking lot, and never told a soul about having a gun at school.

Later in college I occasionally carried one or another revolver that had been my grandfathers. Again, never told a soul including the good friends who were often with me.

Only a few years earlier many schools had gun safety programs and on campus rifle ranges. If anyone ever had an inkling of harming someone with a gun their conscience had an understanding of the moral consequences.

My grandmother lived on a farm in rural Iowa and told stories about carrying her rifle to school every day so she could shoot rabbits on the way home for supper. It was in the pre WWI era. The students racked their rifles by their coats in the school entry. I still have her rabbit gun, a Winchester model 1903 semi auto .22.

You are somewhat younger than me, but not so much younger you wouldn’t have seen it.

When I was in high school in Colorado.. (late 80s early 90s) if there was a pickup a truck in Colorado (well had Colorado plates or Wyo) it was mandatory that a gun rack was in the back window.

What self respecting truck driver wouldn’t have a gun rack?

Spent time growing up in SE Kansas and North of Denver and in both places it was very common to have a gun rack. Where else would you put your rifle? Having a truck was like owning a home. You have to have a gun for both
