We never had metal detectors either (my HS city was around 100K near Austin, TX), but it was still a shock. I lived in Harford County, Maryland (very affluent) before moving here, and it was like night and day.
The "gun and drugs" culture was nothing new in my day (thanks to Pac, Snoop, Nirvana, etc songs being out), but our parents made sure we knew the difference between art and reality. I was familiar with the culture, but knew that it shouldn't appear in my daily life. I'm truly interested in learning what made the lines blur recently.
