So if everything is on up and up. And some things sound somewhat odd as above. But if taken on face value kid did right thing and is now banished and held up as a poster child.

 

Bad for him, when he appears to have tried to the correct thing. But now what if similiar situation occurs. The message is - do not do the right thing - hide it and try to skate through the situation.

 

What does an 11 year old expelled from a public school do in Pulaski county for education now?

 

Expelled students must still be provided educational services, I believe.

But imagine it the other way. The message is - you can bring a gun to school as long as you say that you didn't realize that you had it in your pocket.

My biggest issue here is with the parent. When you are going to and from a range or wherever you are doing your shooting you need to account for all firearms and render them incapable of firing unless it is a concealed carry piece. Falling short of that you need to take inventory of what you have and make sure you clear the action of each one to ensure it is not loaded.

This isn't on the kid? Who put the gun in his pocket, then?

 

Oh I forgot that 11 year olds are to act as responsibly as grown men. Come on, man? That's a kid...

It's a loaded gun...not a leftover sandwich. Even an 11 year old should have enough responsibility to realize they have a loaded gun in their pants pocket. But the greatest irresponsibility is on the parents who apparently aren't teaching safe gun handling or practicing gun safety themselves. But, at 11 years old, he is old enough to realize the danger of a loaded gun.

First, I'm not a man. :lol2:

 

I feel that the gun owner is very much at fault, there, too. That gun absolutely should have been accounted for.

 

However, your original post made is sound as if they teacher was at fault. "He trusted the teacher..." Every student in that classroom and their parents trust the teacher, too, to keep them safe. Of course the teacher had to report this.

 

At the very least, the kid made a mistake. But unless someone put the gun on him (which he does not claim) this is still, at the most basic level, "on him."

I refer to everyone, child, boy, girl or whatever as man but sorry if I offended ya!

 

Well, to be honest, I'm gonna say that the kid probably didn't realize the consequences and rolled in and was like "I'll bring it, it'll be cool" and then told the teacher and was gonna try to get off on being honest ... but I don't know. In the case that he really did just leave it in his pocket and didn't realize, I can't bring myself to blame an 11 year old. If it was an honest mistake, and he told his teacher... it would mess with you, ya know? As a kid. The parents are probably 100% at fault in any situation for the kid being able to get a gun. I'm a grown man, and still have to go to my mom's bedroom and get someone to open the case for me lol
