An apostrophed name is always better than a hyphenated one. I hate hyphenated last names to bits.
Again....to each their own.......I just wish more people would consider the future consequences of social media that has openly stated that it hates you and your values.......

The college, which is part of the St. Johns County School District, suspended Dallas after another student reported a Facebook photo of her and her fiance “holding legally purchased and lawfully possessed firearms at a gun range
Ms. Dallas is 20-21 years old; I doubt her college has any in loco parentis duty.Rob, I'm not talking about official discipline according to school rules. I'm talking about as a guidance counselor (many of these fourth-tier schools have them) giving a long-overdue in loco parentis intervention along the lines of, "If you don't want to be a failure in life you must learn these lessons."Assuming by "consider discipline", you are referring to the school. On what basis would you discipline a student for lawful off campus conduct?Posing like a "gangsta" in complete disregard for firearm safety and disrespect for the photographer, if it is a symptom of other anti-socialized attitudes in the woman, would make me consider discipline, but suspension doesn't come to mind. A humiliating dressing-down is more appropriate.
90% of the time the subject will "cooperate" and be a witness against himself and admit the activity suggested by the photo is real. It is tough and often not financially practical for a college student to tell a non-LEO administrator, who can impose extra0judicial punishment, "we'll get my attorney here and we can talk'.So unless there are witnesses to corroborate events

Oh bullshit. If it was at a cowboy shoot no one would give two shits.
I hope she bankrupts the college and buys more guns and range time.
Gonna get interesting in a generation or three when kids have surnames that sound like lawfirms. Smith-Walters-Devans-Nixon-Peabody-Jackson would be a hell of a surname for a kid to live with.An apostrophed name is always better than a hyphenated one. I hate hyphenated last names to bits.
Unclear. You read stories all the time about people who are decruited from their jobs because of politically incorrect behavior or statements made outside the workplace, without any link to the company (no use com company name, logo, etc.). When it comes to private institutions you have to prove their actions violated some sort of law or regulation.which is also outside the jurisdiction of the administrator asking about it
First Coast Technical College is operated by St. Johns County School District under the Florida Department of Education. Wouldn't be a 1A case if FCTC were a private institution.Unclear.

If you don't think the courts grant colleges wide discretion to ignore the law, just try to get a court to treat a student being expelled from school as a "tenant with all the rights that pertain thereto" if they live in on-campus housing.
Probably they will choose some politically-correct names: ie Kennedy, Kerry, etc. When they reach adulthood, they can change their names legally.Gonna get interesting in a generation or three when kids have surnames that sound like lawfirms.

That's the main problem. It's operated by a school district, mostly for high school students, along with some adults enrolled in vo-tech courses.First Coast Technical College is operated by St. Johns County School District under the Florida Department of Education.
Did you pick your own name?
No way, thats an insult to my trash cans.Wow, we need to remove these types of people from any position of power. He needs to get sued, fired, and get a job emptying garbage cans. Progressives are the most dangerous and annoying people on the planet, followed closely by Communists and radical Salafi types
Your choice, for whatever reason.Rob, would it really matter? I am southern born and raised, with plenty of Confederate pride. My wife, Jill, is Canadian born with Cajun roots and raised in Louisiana. Our daughters were born in my home state of Alabama, so I guess the liberals will just call us a family of unwashed rednecks. We are not control freaks as parents. We keep our share of firearms in our home and continue to educate our kids on their proper use. However, we have one rule that stands absolute: no gun photos on social media. Not a real gun, BB gun or water gun. No guns at all. Period!
Really ? Judgemental much ?
It's a good thing that you're not a law-maker......
or, are you ?
Like I said I don't give a flying f#$& what any one does. And the college is wrong. But there is no way I would take a picture like that and post it for everyone to see. I'm willing to bet if most of us posed for a picture like that regardless of race. At they're local range. With your club logo in the background. You probably wouldn't retain membership much longer. If you disagree take the picture and post it up for everyone to see.God forbid a a minority posts a photo with firearms and money....because having money or a firearm such a terrible crime...
As it goes ....first you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the respect.
As far as in poor taste, only in that it got her in trouble, but the payday will be worth it.ive posted plenty of things I shouldn’t have... love to get paid for it.
If you own 80+ rifles and 20,000 rounds of ammo, you need more ammo.own 58 different AR style rifles, 23 AKs, 3 SCARs, a few 50 BMGs, stock 20,000 rounds of ammo and enough mags to hold it
What is that, the broken teacup grip?
