Everyone in my family was taught to never surrender their tools or their weapons. There were drills.
The harassment on personal liberties is much more prevalent over here in the people's democratic republic of Maryland.

My son has been told by his classmates that they have their guns out in the trunks of their cars. Do I believe it? Around here, probably, yeah.

That world sounds great. I just don't see it here and now.If it sounds like a good idea, all you have to do is reclaim it.
To: elkfersupper
all you have to do is reclaim it.
Just a wee skirmish and all those dastardly union folk will be running for the hills I do declare...
I have my doubts.

So how dose a "in-school suspension" work. You go to school and skip class?Makes sense only to a liberal.

"Not so bad. Don't bring things that are meant to look like guns to school anymore. I received more punishment for far less in my days." They were doing a Revolutionary War project and were told to bring in props. So what other "war props" should they have brought in that would have been ok? Knives? Canon? Bayonettes? Gun powder? Axe? When you're working on a war project that requires props, you're kinda stuck between a rock and hard place if they won't allow toy weapons. It's like working on a bird project and telling the kids that feathers and beaks are not allowed. The world has truly gone insane.

Uhhh...have we gone too far yet?? Well, it's not we but them.
My kid is out of public school prison and
enjoys the freedom of home schooling.
Student Suspended for Gun Gesture
Snip:
A Gwinnett County 10-year-old was suspended from school for reportedly using his thumb and forefinger as a pretend gun. The school said Jonathan Motes violated its zero-tolerance weapons policy.
To: kinoxi
Ironic that the kids were stuting the American Revolution and you're afraid of a toy gun. Don't go outside when the sun is shining. Your shadow will stalk you.

I don't think the students were told to bring fake guns to school, call it a hunch...

It's in the back of their little pea brains, that if we hadn't revolted, today we'd be gun-free, socialist soccer-playing dhimmis, with a National Health Service;)We have quite a few here that are afraid of (toy guns are scary) their shadows. It's pathetic.

If kept on site, the toy guns would have to be locked up in a secure cabinet! This teacher should have told administration and cleared it beforehand...common sense should prevail.
Locking up toy guns is common sense. I think the school should lock up baseball bats, pencils, pointers, chairs, and cordon off the water fountain so kids don't drown.

Quite right.Best wishes to you and your family.
Keep 'em safe. Mine are raised.

Uhhh...have we gone too far yet?? /sarcasmWhat about the mayor of Franklin, TN who has ordered that the participants in the upcoming re-enactment of the civil war Battle of Franklin aren't going to be allowed to carry rifles!
"The ceremony would also be without antique rifles because of concerns expressed by Police Chief Jackie Moore regarding safety."

do you approve of students bringing fake knives into class to stab each other with?Ahh. Those evil knives that just jump out and kill people. As a teenager, back in the late 1950s, when I flew from NY to CO on hunting trips, I wore a hunting knife aboard commercial aircraft. When we went to the range, we always carried pistols or revolvers and would stop at a diner for breakfast and ate with the cops. To this day, I don't know of anyone who has been stabbed or shot. I do know of three people who have been killed by cars.
Do you work for the TSA?
