Zero Tolerance?

I had a child to bring in a pistol-style bb gun today, unloaded. Found it first thing thanks to an older sibling. Very frightening. Sweet student. Said it belonged to an older brother. I'm just glad it was a bb gun....

 

I'm confused. Is this a question, a vent, or something else?

 

yes, why did you title it zero tolerance?

 

Growing up in Texas (a long time ago) many high school kids drove pickups to school. Most every truck had either a pump 12 gauge shotgun or a Winchester 30-30 rifle hanging on a gun rack right above the rear window. No one thought anything about it. I never heard of a single "school shooting." Those were good days.....

Please know I'm NOT advocating trucks and guns for kids at school in today's society. Things have changed..... (common sense, discipline, respect, responsibility) ..... I wonder why? And I wonder who's to blame?...

 

What were the consequences for the student? He would have had a suspension here.
