When my father went to high school here in the late &#x27;40s, he and his peers would keep their long guns in their lockers for the same reason, same result with absolutely no control by the school authorities.  The late Supreme Court justice Scalia, 3 years younger, related in the oral arguments of <i>Heller</i> how he&#x27;d carry his target rifle on the NYC subway to and from his school&#x2F;JROTC? rifle range.<p>When I attended in the late &#x27;70s, the JROTC rifles were in a safe to which we did not have the combination (well, they were government property), now they use air rifles :-(.
