how stupid do you have to be to do this, honestly?

 

your gonna bring a gun to school (probably to show it off) are you an idiot?

As if we need another example for stricter gun laws in this state.

I brought a gun to school when I was in High School.

 

No one cared. Well, I can't say that. One of my teachers asked me about it. To be more specific he asked "Hunting this afternoon?"

I answered. "Yup".

 

It was a basic Marlin .22 since I was squirrel hunting that afternoon.

I used to carry a swiss army knife around in school. Nobody cared. They knew I was a good kid and a boy scout as well.

When and where did you go to school? (poor squirrels. love those things)

Small town in Ohio between Akron and Youngstown, early to mid 80s.

There you go.

Me too, they make a good stew.

I'll keep that in mind next time I pass roadkill. I'm sure you'd enjoy that too ya hillbilly.

That's cause nuts hang out together.

heres one for you from a mean hunter

 

he would eat peanuts from my hand and let me pet his head with my thumb

We had pet squirrels at Keesler AFB in the early 80s. They would crawl all over you checking out pockets for peanuts, it was best to have some if you sat near their tree. Now my dog chases them, and can never catch them, they are too smart

Looks like he'd be a lot of fun......to throw when properly flattened and dried out in the sun on a hot road.

Hey crackaloon I'm sending this guy to see you

Now why didn't I think of that?! I wonder how much stuffed squirrels in costumes would go for on ebay.

 

Oh, and my mother taught at that school for over 20 years. I'm glad she's not there now or she'd be freaking out.

Just be careful with that crap. My grandfather had a chipmunk bite through his fingernail....I could only imagine that a squirrel would be able to bite harder.

first you all remind me of the dogs from UP

 

SQUIRREL!

 

 

back on topic...

 

This is why we need education in our schools about guns. Kids are curious, we need to make sure this curiosity is fulfilled in the proper manner.

I swear squirrels and chipmunks are bacon flavored by the way my dog goes after them. Having lots of oaks on my property, she gets her fair share of tree chickens. In Costa Rica Iguana's were the best tree chickens.

 

Back on topic...I wonder if anyone REALLY considered the bullying aspect? Schools hate to admit that a bullying situation exists. By law they have to prevent it and rarely do.

 

On a side note...Growing up next to Newark, (not to far from the Bullet Hole), I used to carry a Crossman full sized 22 cal air pistol that looked like a 4" 38 revolver. That thing saved my butt a number of times.That and larger folder...

We had rifle club in New Brunswick High. We had a range in the basement of the school. Also shot against other schools.

why not teach about guns in school? Like a gun safety class, I think it could prove better if kids actually knew the harm a gun can cause, and were also taught how to properly handle them if they should come across one. Instead of being totally oblivious to the safe operation and laws of guns in New Jersey.

 

Is it not common sense that people who shoot themselves or accidental mishandling of firearms (kid finds gun, kid shows off gun, friend gets shot) are due to the lack of knowledge on the safe operations and handling of firearms?

 

i'd be interested in seeing a pilot program.

I'm all with you on that...but then you have administration and parents who will retort with this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeGD7r6s-zU

then you retort with the act that you do not need a loaded gun to teach gun safety. Problem solved. The main issue is if this is ever proposed seriously then the retort would be "Oh and what are we supposed to cut out of the curriculum to fit this in?" I say add it in to P.E. either that or study hall

Keep PE. Cut out lunch. We're raising a nation of obese children.

yeah plus they've already added P.E. with Sex Ed, and Drivers Ed, well when I was going to school anyway.
