When was the last time a hunting rifle locked in a toolbox harmed anyone? It would help to know if these boys had any track record of abnormal behavior or violence. If they're just a couple of normal good kids that like to do a little hunting, I think the school and law enforcement officials were way out of line.
The guns were in a locked SUV. Now do you understand the concern? Armed SUV`s in a school yard? Not in this wacked out America.
Better yet....
When was the last time a gun of any kind harmed anyone?
When I was in school (when dirt was young) - it was school policy that the school was allowed to search any car in the parking lot. But back then they were looking for evil beer. Half the boys in the senior class had shotguns/rifles in their trucks for hunting after school or just to be one of the macho guys. Columbine left it's mark on the nation's schools and those who wish to imitate the event.
