It still happens in very rural areas of the state. I frequently visit friends in west Texas (Big Spring) and most of the high school age boys in the smaller towns still have rifles or shot guns in a rack. However, I remember having one in my pick up when I was in high school in Fort Worth but that was a loooonnnng time ago.rotor wrote:Absolutely correct. Although I did not attend high school in Texas, my wife did and she said all of the guys had their rifles on a rack on the back of their pickups. This would obviously not fly today. My 11 year old grandson is very skillful with safe use of a gun. I don't think we are all safer with the present laws than we were in the past.MechAg94 wrote:Millions of kids have grown up with loaded guns in houses without safes. There are other ways to handle this, but all require a plan and commitment after recognition of the problem.Soccerdad1995 wrote:This reminds me of my last trip to Cabelas. A guy was there with his wife and 5-6 year old son. He was looking for his first gun, and asked the clerk if it was possible to install a manual safety on a Glock because he really liked that gun but needed a manual safety in case his son picked up the gun. After a few questions from the clerk, it became clear that the guy planned to keep his loaded gun in his unlocked night stand and not in a safe. Thankfully, the clerk was very adamant that he needed to get some type of safe for the gun.
