    I mean generally I agree with you, but much like you have your phone with you constantly, you will sometimes leave it somewhere you normally wouldn’t accidentally. So if you’ve had the gun in your truck all day, you may just leave it in the rack once in a while. As for “students” yea, it would be pretty weird to grow up in that area and not be very familiar with firearms. It would be like being amazed and surprised that most students had been driving since they were 14, or were riding horses at 8. It’s pretty mundane.

      No I won’t leave my gun “accidentally” anywhere. Handling a gun means “accidentally” is not part of your vocabulary.

      I’m a gun owner myself, so I’m not the pearl clutching type but this is genuinely unthinkable to me. Absurd and a little scary, to be honest.

        You sound like the bad guy in the original story. Just totally out of touch such that it is “unthinkable” that a bunch of students wouldn’t ascribe greater reverence to objects that at the end of the day are just mundane tools.
