I went to a school of 450/500. In a city of 100k.
Very, very few folks had their hunting stuff in a car/truck. Car stereo theft alone in the 70’s was out of control. If somebody’s gun got stolen out of a truck (locked or unlocked) there was a Dad who was going to kick his son’s ass.
Everybody I knew practiced incredible caution with their firearm.

I lived in a town of 13,000 people. I saw a little bit of it, but it was a subset of guys who had pickups. So out of 650 high school kids of driving age, maybe 20 percent (130) had pickups and 80 percent of those (104) were guys. So there were maybe 104 kids who could possibly put a gun in their pickup, and of those 5 or 10 percent actually did. That sounds about right that there were 5 to 10 kids who had gun racks on their back glass with a gun on them. Probably the lower end of 5 would match my memory best.
