NO, we don't..
Unfortunately, we have to give in to peoples irrational fears of guns, and what might happen.
These are all legitimate pre-crimes now.
Same here.There is another route one could take, and believe me if I had kids and they did this to them it would become my life's goal to destroy these peoples lives by hook or by crook.
PC is one reason where in this mess.As much as a cowardice bootlicker as I am, and I can understand this may be the prudent thing to do, I have to agree with others that say this is total BS.
If we continue to give in like this, we will continue to lose the war, lose the hearts and minds.
I would LOVE to post pics of my daughter with an AR-15 all over instagram and Facebook, but really don't want to suffer the consequences.
I understand in the current climate it not the politically correct thing to do.

Haven’t read the entire thread, but seriously hope this kid and his mom get paid out. This crap has to stop. They were well within their rights and not a threat to anyone.
Also I agree that it should not be a problem to post perfectly legal activities online without fear of backlash... Sorry, but your feelings do not trump my rights.
I took a buddy to the range recently with his two teenage grandsons.
Rules were provided:
- Follow all safety rules at all times or we stop and leave. No discussion.
- Do not take any pictures/videos of guns or activities
- Do not tell your friends. If word got around in school it could be construed as a threat.
- Yes, the rules suck but the world sucks worse these days.
They shot a variety of fun firearms. They were safe. They were actually appreciative that we entrusted them to act like adults.
Stop putting crap online.
Maybe every gun owning SOB in that town should take their kid to the range, and post pics.
Nobody’s getting paid, but he’ll get reinstated and maybe get an apology.
He should get paid. I'm not big on lawsuits as a rule, but the courts view a person's education as a "possession," meaning 4A applies and that the state can't arbitrarily remove your ability to get an education. That's the basis for the IDEA.
Courts do give administrators a lot of leeway in the interest of "school safety," but civil rights are civil rights. The bar is very high. In most MA schools, an indefinite suspension can't occur unless a student is charged (not merely arrested) on a felony rap.
He’s not getting paid although it would be nice if he did. What are the damages? Missing a week of his education “possession”? What’s the value of that? Good luck w the emotional distress argument. If he’s that emotionally distressed that he should get a big award they’ll argue that he probably shouldn’t have had access to guns in the first place. They’re not going to award punitive damages against the district for following their policies.

Life seems to be so different up here in NH. I've seen 4 to 6 newspaper articles about kids and shooting sports up here (newspaper is delivered to every household weekly). I'm meeting with a high school principal to discuss offering NRA's Refuse to Be A Victim to high schoolers (and anyone interested) in conjunction with the police department (NRA offers material for free if you do it with a PD and offer the seminar for free). I tried to offer it back in MA to my old PD (where I served with them for many years) and they refused because it is an NRA course.My kid was out of the gun safe in 3rd grade.
when he was 10, he got his picture and a write-up in the MetroWest Daily News, for getting his Distinguished Expert in Trap.
He brought shooting trophies in, for "all about me" day.
In High School, the librarian asked him for info WRT interstate transfer of firearms. The teacher (standing behind him) said, "Why are you asking him that?" "Because he teaches it," said the librarian.
I don't know if it was because it was a normal to him as soccer is to the Brazilian kids, or Little league to the other Anglos, or because he was open about it for so long, or just the school system, but he had NO issues. Maybe 5 years makes a difference.
If you put it at .25 speed at 1080p you see that she thankfully didn't lose any digits. The flying debris is parts of the gun.I think I saw a flying finger at 0:46...
Yep jct - if you’re doing anything border-line or completely legal (as in this scenario), don’t post it online, especially when there’s so much sensitivity and attention on the topic.
I’m not a social media person to begin with, but if I was, I wouldn’t be posting pictures or videos of me reloading, shooting at a range, or hunting. Too many snowflakes would get butthurt because my hobbies are outside their proverbial box.
I completely agree, but why advertise you have guns in the house? Sorry, but I'm against posting everything you do online. The kid was proud of going shooting, I get that. I wouldn't have even thought of the school. I'd be more worried about people knowing I have guns in the house.Yes. And no. People don’t need to post their every thought online but they shouldn't be penalized for it legally when they’re not breaking any laws.
We have the same rules. Also, keep mouth shut at pediatrician's office and other medical offices. They can also cause trouble for law abiding gun owners. My older daughter found that out the hard way a couple of years ago.I took a buddy to the range recently with his two teenage grandsons.

Taurus.Are there any other kind?
