When I was in HS all the farm kids carried their knives and multitools to school every day.

One year the administration asked us to stop, but nobody listened and they didnt mention it again.

I was in carpentry class in high school. I walked around campus with a box cutter, a 16 ounce claw hammer, a nail gun and a skilsaw. I could have Freddy Krugered the entire glee club. I didn't because I'm an asshole, not a psychopath.
