It’s one of my favorite movies, and influenced my decision to go to boarding school. But it’s a movie. I was talking about real life.

We didn't have any guns in the house growing up, but I know plenty of people who did and so a desk gun is fairly common across the US.

I know my parents had a gun in the house, because they told me. But they had it locked up in a safe. I actually never saw it.
