And my dad, and everyone else that we knew all had pickup trucks with gun racks with loaded rifles and shotguns in them.

Guns were just another thing around the house. Like sharp knives, boiling water on a stove, etc.
Kids today are so fucking sheltered and "protected" that they ARE a danger when they are around a loaded gun. Didn't use to be that way.
Hell, all my buddies in highschool who had pickup trucks had loaded rifles on their gun racks parked in the school parking lot.

Nothing was thought of it. It was natural.

Try that these days...you'd have the swat team swoop down on your ass.
