As far as the laws now, my son left a filet knife in the bed of his truck and they called and wanted to send him home for 3 days. He’d already been busted when the dog alerted on his truck when he left a box of shotgun shells in the rear cab. A meeting with the principal and school board got all that cleared up. We are a farming community with nothing but country boys, except for a few that live in town, what do they expect to find, lol.

They eventually got sued and every student got money out of the deal…every single high school student! Wanting to say it was $3K each but don’t quote me on that. The sheriff (at the time) and a few deputies showed up for a drug bust. Of course the sheriff’s son was a dealer and somehow was sick that day along with the rest of the city kids that were known to do drugs. But it did turn up a few packs of cigarettes and about 24 cans of dip and a few pouches of tobacco (Redman and Levi Garret) On top of that they did a very personal pat down of each child there. Searched all lockers and vehicles. We parents didn’t find out as they took up all cell phones first. Sheriff and deputies are no longer employees…deputies that refused to participate got their jobs back, if they wanted them. It was a big, big abuse of power and they paid the price. School board officials that knew about were also removed.

We just got it legalized to shoot water animals in water traps. Till then it was illegal to discharge a rifle over water. We have a lot of rules. There are changes each year. One of them is we have to wear orange during the deer seasons and the deer seasons can be different form county to county. Now I can concealed carry my .22 pistol while trapping. I could not do that a few years ago. At each stop I had to take it out of a case and load it and put it into my holster - then reverse that till the next stop. I have to admit I just wore it all the time.
