Have you ever brought a weapon to school?

[Citanul]

Does my mind count?

I often had one swiss army knife, occasionally 2. I never really considered them weapons save the one time it was all I had when running towards screams of panic and fear.

OK. Well this non-American wants to know: if you acknowledge that something has changed, then shouldn't you change the law to deal with the new reality? Because you're not living in the 80's anymore, and wishful thinking won't change that, will it?

The kinds of "legal changes" people tend to call for are actually against the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. Hence, they're against the law. Furthermore, what hasn't changed is the problem that the Second Amendment is meant to counter. Amending the Constitution to repeal it would therefore be unwise, especially if it works out the way the 18th Amendment did (which itself had to be repealed via the 21st Amendment).

No way,Im not brave enough to do that.

Never a knife or a gun.

I did bring some surplus training equipment (obviously non-functional, along with a genuine Army canteen, fatigues etc.). This is edited to not give the wrong idea. I don't even own a firearm as an adult, but there was a time when I was into military stuff as a kid. It didn't raise eyebrows back then, let alone lead to disciplinary action like it might today.

Well, I am regularly carrying a bow with me. I was also considering to do the Berlin University Shooting. But it probably wouldn’t make headlines, as the bow is not actually classified as a weapon in Germany and my killrate would be waaaaay to low. Too bad that I need a license to own a gun over here

Yeah, sorry. My humour is a bit off the road right now. Carry on

I used to carry a pocket knife as a kid. But haven't done that in ages.

 

[redblue22]

I never carried any, but I suggested spray to a fellow teacher.

No but I did bust a Grade 7 student slashing bicycle tires with a butterfly knife. There was a group of other Grade 7 kids taunting him saying he was going to jail and I had to alert the teachers before it got out of control.

Knowing my principal, the kid probably got a stern talking to for it.
