Wow, I tell you it's a different world out there today. I carried a Swiss Army knife probably from the, I don't know, fifth, sixth, seventh grade through grade school. In the eighth grade some kids stabbed a girl in the back with a pencil. So, you know, pretty simple things you can use to do harm if you want to. I mean, you can do a lot of harm like with a razor blade or something. I don't know. And then I carried a Swiss Army knife all through high school. Didn't have a problem. I looked at it as a tool.
