They put the letter back in the typewriter and added a S to swords and added "and rifle" to the end. He's still got the letter. Its amazing the stuff you could get away with back then.

yup.
hell when i was a kid, not long ago, (1997), we used to go duck hunting before school. we would just leave our guns etc in our trucks and go to class. Everybody, including the teachers knew we went out and no one gave a damn.
hell even saying you have a gun at a school now will get you suspended for a week, and maybe arrested.
