May 2016

I had a concealed carry license the entire time I was a teacher.

The fact that I was a firearms enthusiast never crossed paths with my career. (See below for exceptions)

I even took the principal and several administrators shooting several times.

We met at a range near my house in the suburbs.

Except for the principal, all of my guests to the range were newbies (city types) and they had a great time.

The principal was a southern lady who had moved to NY to finish college and stayed.

Damn, could she shoot!

(Full disclosure - yes, I even took students shooting, sort of. We went to Civil War reenactments and they got to shoot blanks.)

I became friendly with one of the reenactors and he would bring accoutrements and rifles to the school.

In NYC.

There was never a problem. No one said anything except 'thank you for coming to our school.'
