I’m nearly 30 and did them in elementary school

I’m in my 30s and we had them all throughout grade school.

I'm 43, and we didn't have them at all by the time I graduated in '96

Columbine was in '99, so that checks out. I think schools started doing them sometime after that tragedy.

Which was kinda weird to me. Bowling Green happened a couple years earlier, and there had been school shootings in this country ever since the mid to late 1800s. Seemed like an overreaction to me.

I graduated in 2002. Based on the other responses, it seems like they started doing them shortly after that.
