Judging from earlier abundant evidence of NEA stupidity, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that this was an already fired shell casing.

I had the same feeling.

Another poster said that he thought that the parrents are divorced. I do not know why anyone would say this. About the same time that this child was hunting with his dad, My 11 year old son and I were pheasant hunting during the state youth hunting day. My son bagged his first bird. This Saturday, we are going on a youth deer hunt. My son's mother and I (his father) are not divorced, we just like to spend time together outdoors.

Since my son and I spend alot of time shooting, I worry about him taking a spent shell to school. I tell him not to talk about guns to anyone. When he was in 4th grade, he was suspended 3 times for violations of the zero tol. policy of the school. None of these infractions involved weapons or fights, only verbal infractions. The last week of school, he got into an actual fist fight and was not punished. The schools are out of control.

I said that because of the mother's comments about camo being "Militaristic and a show of violence". I know very few married men who hunt who's wives could possibly have such views. Many of the men I know who hunt, their wives hunt with them. And the ones' who dont surely would not have such an opinion of camo, or they would have never married the hunter.

I thought that was a quite simple guess.

Good advice for your son and I agree 100% with everything you said. Besides Uncle Sam, only my wife and best friend know I have guns. And even that makes me nervous, because you never know when one of them might slip up and say the wrong thing to the wrong socialist. :-(

My two younger children love to collect the spent shell casings that picked up of the ground after a weekend out shooting. I knew they ended up in their pockets because I found them in the washer, and I knew they ended up in their backpacks because the following Monday they'd take them out of the backpack after school, give them to us or put them in a jar.

We now remind them to empty the pockets after such a weekend...
