Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What kind of lunchbox did you take to school?

Various metal lunchboxes through the years. Happy Days, Scooby Doo and Wizard of Oz are ones I remember.

I also remember that I was playing the part of a soldier for the Nutcracker Christmas play we were putting on in elementary school. My teacher asked if the soldiers could bring a rifle to school for the play. I told her that I could bring my .22 rifle and I’d leave the mag at home. I hopped on the bus carrying my lunchbox and my rifle. The bus driver didn’t say anything about it and once at school nobody gave me a second glance. I put it in my coat cubby and left it there until the play. It never once crossed my mind to use it for anything except that which my teacher allowed. We would stash our BB guns in the woods on the other side of the fence from the playground and shoot starlings and English sparrows at recess. 😂.....great memories growing up.

I don’t think that would fly today.
