N2  - While much existing research has examined either juvenile or adult weapon carrying, this study assesses whether carrying a weapon to school as a juvenile is predictive of bringing a handgun to school or work in adulthood. Data are drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. <br><br>RESULTS show a decline in weapon carrying behavior over time. However, youth who report school weapon carrying in adolescence are much more likely to report carrying a handgun to school or work in adulthood. <br><br>FINDINGS also demonstrate that victimization, rather than offending behavior, is predictive of adulthood handgun carrying at school and work.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
