BOULDER, Colo. — A student with a wooden color guard rifle prompted Fairview High School to be placed on lockdown and four other schools placed on lockout on Friday morning, the Boulder Police Department said.
Police received a call about 7:30 a.m. saying they saw a teenage boy carrying what they believed was a white rifle case near Emerson Avenue in south Boulder. No gun was seen.

The Boulder Valley School District said just after 8 a.m. that Fairview was placed on the more restrictive lockdown, meaning all classrooms were secured, the lights were turned off and students were being kept quiet and in place indoors.
Southern Hills Middle School, Bear Creek Elementary School, Community Montessori School and Mesa Elementary were placed on lockout, the district said.
The restrictions were lifted about 8:30 a.m. after police found the student and it was determined he had been carrying a white wooden rifle that was brought to school for a color guard class.
The student usually carries the wooden rifle in a case. But the case he was carrying was full of flags so he decided to carry the rifle outside of the case, police said.
When I was in ROTC in high school back in the mid-70’s, we drilled with Remington Model 30 Springfield bolt-action rifles. They could not be fired, but I guess they’d probably cause libtards to lose control of their bowels today.
Well it won’t shoot, but you can club someone with it, so PANIC!!!
1 1/2 x 3 1/2 according to the consumer protection agencies you can’t really buy 2 x 4 lumber
I was just about to say something similar. Navy JROTC, Drill Team. We had demiled Garands.
Actually if you’re not careful spinning or tossing it, you can hit yourself in the face. I’ve seen that happen more than once.
Mid 60s our JROTC drilled with M1s lacking only the firing pins.
I was NJROTC, too. Sometimes we would visit a nearby Army ROTC school that had an indoor rifle range.
I wish we’d had M1s. Our Springfields had no firing pins, and the barrels were plugged.
They USED to be a full 2x6 when we were kids. But they are lucky to be 1 1/2 x 5 now. Everything gets reduced these days.
I came here to look at this “rifle.”
Thats not a rifle. I am not even sure calling it a stock would be accurate.
That is a board.
It is sooooo stupid, as is turning over our kids to the public schools in general.
Plus, how different is a suspected “rifle case” from what could be the case for a sports stick (lacrosse, field hockey, ice hockey), a poster or a musical instrument?
Early ‘80s, ours had metal poured down the barrel and the bolts welded shut.
I saw that earlier, one of the better ones on this subject.
My daughter broke her nose with one. She did a quad spin indoors for a show. She was under the basketball hoop. It did not go as planned. Don’t think she ever performed indoors after that. Kept t on an open field.
