One of the biggest personal "awakenings" I've had realized recently is the dystopian pocket knife rules in schools. Pocket knives were vilified, even through high school. We were taught that if our friends brought one in, they were dangerous and we needed to report them.
And, as a kid, you just accept that. Now, years later, carrying a pocket knife every day and not thinking twice about it, I look back and realize how insane that is.
Children should be taught knife safety and should be carrying knives.
I got caught carving my initials on a table in science class while in High School. I caught hell for the carving part, but I didn't hear a word about having a knife.
We used to play mumbly peg in middle school during recess. And the "yard duty" teacher would often be the referee.
As it should be.
Guess it depends on what time period. When I was high school the guys had rifles in back window of their truck during hunting season. If they didn’t care about the guns sure didn’t care about a pocket knife. When my grandfather died I probably found at least fifteen pocket knives😆 I’ve been to many concerts on the east coast. About five years ago I saw Chris Stapleton in Kentucky. When we came out the tables were littered with pocket knives. You knew you were in the country where people know how to survive.
It is crazy how fast things changes.
I Britain a proud boy is doing 20 for carrying a pocket knife. He used it for his fingernails it's the one with the file and baby scissors. Yes it has a small 2 inch blade used to cut open boxes. He was arrested ( never even used it) and was charged with concealing a deadly weapon. He was found guilty of the charge and serving time for it. Ridiculous.
That's a shame,we used to have laws against switchblades,here in oklahoma. Then we remembered it's perfectly legal to carry loaded guns.......
Texas -- legal, legal
