Griffin middle schooler takes gun to school.
It worked! These tired old eyes thought it would be a newsworthy story, instead,
I was fooled into reading space filler next to the Giant Mart ad. Glad I did!
They have collard greens on sale for $1.29 a pound. mmm...mmm.
I supposed the kid was probably being bullied and took the BB gun to school in order to "scare off" a bully or bullies. It would have been easier for the young scholar to carry a bar of soap and a long sock. At the first sign of trouble, drop the soap into the sock and swing away. It worked for me in 1947 high school.
It's a formidable weapon and legal to possess. The soap-sock combo will leave some nasty knots, large lumps, big bumps, and big black bruises. It's also a great tooth extractor if handled in the proper manner. Heck, if the kid had stashed a few sharpened #2 pencils and a drawing compass in his book bag along with the soap and sock, he would have been looked at as a non-threatening, clean and studious young man with no weapons. He could have grinned all the way to class every day lawfully armed to the teeth instead of being a lawbreaker who violated a Zero Tolerance rule with a fake gun. Come on, give the kid a break! He needs it. It's hard to survive these days in public school without an equalizer.
