Well, you should be able to find references to kids that continued this sort of thing, storing them in their vehicles, who got sweep up in the post-Columbine zero-tolerance bullshit. I know I read more than a few of those, and to this day kids still accidentally forget and leave their hunting gun in their vehicle and get punished.

I have no idea of how pervasive it was outside of Joplin (MO) High School in that period, but given that Joplin is somewhat urban, with a population of 39,000 then, I'd expect it to be very widespread when you add more rural districts.
