Gun found in Backpack at School

[StagLefty]

I know right?

I realize we're talking kindergartners here, who can hardly even wipe their own ass. If people wouldn't forget to ask important questions every time a gun was involved, we'd probably have a lot less stupid gun laws.

You seem locked on to "invasion of privacy" concerning the teacher looking into the kid's backpack. I'd be thankful the teacher found the gun and secured it before there was a serious incident either at school or before and after school. We are talking kindergarten age here.

If child endangerment is illegal then every single parent everywhere should be prosecuted every time they drive anywhere with their kids in the car.

Interesting thought you have there...

18-6-401 Child Abuse

(1)(a) A person commits child abuse if such person causes an injury to a child's life or health, or permits a child to be unreasonably placed in a situation that poses a threat of injury to the child's life or health, or engages in a continued pattern of conduct that results in malnourishment, lack of proper care, cruel punishment, mistreatment, or an accumulation of injuries that ulitmately results in the death of a child or serious bodily injury to a child.

How about letting your kid play sports? Football? Hockey?

18-12-108.7 Unlawfully providing or permitting a juvenile to possess a handgun

I don't want you guys to get the wrong idea here. I don't think that the invasion of privacy issue is the most important at all. I take a stance like Blondie, in that a gun in a back pack isn't really a danger and it was totally over blown. It's not even really an invasion of privacy either, because as Bear said, students don't have any rights.

That's just the question I have, because I don't have questions about the other things. I can already tell the parents are dummies.

Still have news crews here. 9 earlier, 4 is here now. gee whiz, you'd think the story is over.

"... found to be a chrome .22 cal. LR Pheonix Arms Model HP22.... There was no bullet loaded in the chamber of the handgun, but the magazine that was loaded in the handgun contained 7 bullets."

I've been thinking for a few days that this vegan friend that we have is guilty of child abuse with all her stupid ass restrictions on her kid's diet. I don't know about you guys, but if my lunch was peanut butter jelly, crackers, pretzels, and animal crackers, EVERY SINGLE DAY, I probably wouldn't eat my lunch either.

/totally unwarranted and misplaced rant.

Cases in which I Can see this.

Someone in the vehicle is smoking.
Child is not properly Seated/Restrained.
Driver is operating the vehicle in an unsafe manner

Other than that, there is the whole "reasonable" Argument.

No More Backpacks.
