Yes I used this weapon to stab a fellow student who would not keep his hands off my desk. This was probably l954, or 55. Wish they would do something about these weapons before someone gets killed.

I got stabbed in the leg (accidentally) when in about 5th grade, I still have the lead mark and scar to prove it. That was 60 yrs. ago so pencils have been weapons for quite some time now & never was banned in any of my schools.

Some idiot stabbed me in the hand with a pencil back in 5th grade art class. I had the lead mark for years and years.

Sure, ban pencils but that metal math compass still has a very sharp point. ;)
