When I was a senior, a kid whom I surfed with brought a gun to school.

OK, it was a BB gun. But it was at the time when school shootings started becoming part of American life. So, even though it wasn’t a legal firearm, and he didn’t actually fire at anyone, it was considered serious. I think the extent of the damage was one shotat awindshield. But he did hang out of a minivan and, jokingly, aimed it at a teacher.
