I hope this is the right forum for this article.

You've got to wonder just when the insanity is going to end.

Oh good God, now that internet rag is trolling AR-15 for news stories. That is the most pathetic example of journalism I have come across yet.

My Daughter wears my old HK Sniper Competition Sweat Shirt to School......but she's not in public School, thank God.
My Son dumped his Book Bag out on the Floor two years ago. A Knife he didn't even know he had fell out. The Teacher saw it. All she did was confiscate it and tell us about it. It was obvious he wasn't trying to hide it and was surprised it was there.
Common sense is a wonderful thing sometimes. I can only imagine what would of happened in a Public School.

Thank God the Remmington typewriters have been replaced by computers. Article does not name the school or area of the country; like to know where this happened.

I call shenanigans on this story.

One of my teachers in high school (a vocational class for Cisco networking), told us about the times he was in high school when they'd bring in their rifles/shotguns on hunting days and then go from school to hunt, and that was acceptable practice. Nowadays you say gun and you'll be talking to the principal, the police, your priest, and a shrink.

Glock has a unigue problem. The name is widely accepted through out law enforcemnt circles and military, but it's also widely sensationalized by rappers, murderers, thungs, rapists, and wannabe tactical types and gangs.

Kudo's to Gaston for making the one gun that is so widely accepted in the hands of would be thugs, rapists, loonatics, and every kid trying to emulate 50 CENT.

I guess even the LOGO sends shrills through "nanny elitist" types that have never held anyting in their hands but a pencil and pen................no pun intended.

Their inexpensive, in the dealers case and on the street. I've het to hear of an H&K USP in the hands of would crazed shooters.

Boy times sure have changed.

My most prized possession as a child was a youth-sized .50 cal muzzleloader. I tramped all over Oklahoma with that thing and came up with a lot of "alternative" uses for the Pyrodex that JAGeorgia let me keep in the closet, as well. (To be fair, he didn't let me store my own powder until I was about nine).

I took it to show and tell once, and demonstrated to my friends how it worked and how you loaded it. I let them all struggle with the chore of ramming a ball and patch down the barrel. Of course, I was then left with a loaded firearm in the classroom. The teacher did the only sensible thing, which was to send me outside to discharge it on the playground. That was around 1981, I believe.

Questions: (1) If I wanted to raise my own kids that way today, where would I have to move? (2) How much would my monthly legal retainer be to keep the state from taking the kids away?

Ditto. A crap internet "news" site quoting "odingaard" from the AR.15 website as their source. No location, no other media outlet covering the story, etc....

Bullsh*t.

I am 100% OK with the rule that says students can not bring guns or knives to school.

Amen to that.

Upon receiving my driver's licence, I remember asking my father if my friend and I could take his truck out into the desert so we could go shooting.

He could've cared less about the guns.
He wanted to be sure I would drive safely.
(he was right, we nearly wrecked the truck, but nobody was shot... )


Some 4 years earlier that that, with the same friend, we used to play with his "throwing star" during recess at school.
We'd throw it (in an arc) back and forth at each other and try to catch it between our hands like in the movies.

We never made it a high-profile thing, and never got in trouble.

During snack time, we'd use our pocket knives to peel the skin off of our oranges.
Nobody had their knives confiscated unless they were carving on the desk.
(even then, the confiscation was only temporary)


It's unbelievable what the schools are trying to do to our children.

Whatever happened to those good old games of "mumbley-peg" and "split"?

They were killed off by the "Save the Berkenstocks" political action campaign.

Too many Yuppie kids were getting sucked into those games with the redneck kids. Too many shoes were ending up in the trashcan before their due time.
