guns in school

[musclecarr]

Dude! Yeah, I mean, guns are, like, dangerous and stuff. And, like, they can hurt people, and stuff, and its not like grass, which is just a herb, and is, like, natural, and...and...
Wait, what were we talking about?

I think almost every poster has missed the point IT is against the law to carry at a K-12 school don't like the law change it BUT don't violate it. AS a gun owner I sometime am appalled at the attitude of people who think that they are above the law . The post is not about gun rights its about the law. Why don't you walk into a fed. courthouse carrying a firearm ? Either you believe in the concept of a lawful nation or you don't We hold the 2nd amendment up but it is the law of the land and we don't want it violated .As gun owners if we break the law enough and rub it in peoples face we may end up like i hope the congress will in the next ellection.

no one should have guns around kids

Oh my... I wish I'd have known this earlier. Just found out my wife is pregnant, look for all my guns in the WTS section soon!

I agree that is why I just give the guns to my kid. When she has then it is obvious that I cannot do her harm

walt o,
You are exactly right. And I think most or all responders will agree with you about the current law. I believe many were reporting how things were better, in the past, when so few people were terrified of firearms.
My post (about guns being dangerous) and, I'm sure, other posts were in response to ddwood04.

Many of us believe you need to have guns and kids together to teach them gun safety. I don't think anyone was advocating or approving violating the law.

i believe that firearms shouldnt be allowed in schools like the law states, but i do believe that everyone in your family should be aware how to handle firearms in a safe manner, clip out, slide open, how to unchamber a round, safety, no trigger until your ready to shoot etc...my wife and kids 7 and 4 year old boys have shot everything i own, 45, 9, 22lr, 22-250, no shotguns yet for them they are scared of the kick......but they all know they are not toys, and are weapons that will kill if handled in the wrong manner...

Doug having 5 children they have all been around firearms. My S.I.L took one of the muzzle loaders to P.U cal to demonstrate to a class how muzzle loading flint lock rifles worked and the amount of delay between pulling the trigger and the gun firing. But gun owners must that many other people do read these forums and can form the opinion that gun owners may not be the type of responsible people they claim (inmost cases are )to be. I just point out that we need to carry ourselves as a group of people that will not use the right we have unless their is no other way out.
Not as the left portrays gun owners.

+1 It only takes a few jack legs to give responsible law abiding gun owners
a bad rap. On the other hand it's our responsibility to fight for our gun rights.

I would like to see one day where the principal and vice principle were trained properly and carried a concealed and secured handgun at all school functions with full police powers.

Congrats on the good news! What you got for sale? My son is growing up and needs more firepower!

rush 176 that's an awesome mail box!

Actually... my wife isn't pregnant. I did get some extra range time in when I took paternity leave when my daughter was born just a couple of months ago.

 

[eldirector]

Always thought it was odd....only 2 groups of citizens are barred from school property: folks who are licensed to carry, and sex offenders.

Another feel-good law we should work to amend.

Oh, and Congrats Bigus_D! (on the little girl, not the extra range time)

Bring back Eddie Eagle and school pistol teams like they used to have. We used to have a rifle team when I was in high school.
Also you are allowed to carry on school grounds so long as you are dropping off or picking up. Just don't get out of the vehicle with it.

 

[Doug]

Gee, I wonder how many thousands of lives have been saved because someone said to themselves. "I'm going to go murder that @#%&*%!! Oh, wait, the school is a gun-free zone! Shucks, I guess I can't kill him, after all."

Back in 8th grade, we had a mandatory class on firearm safety. It replaced the gym class for half a semester (the other half was boating safety). If you got >90% on the final test you got to skip a day of school and go to the coon hunters club and shoot at their range for the day, and yes I got 100%. Pretty nice to have the school pay for ammunition. As far as I know, Salem Middle School still does it for the 8th grade. It was a lot like the hunters ED class you take to get a hunting license.
