I'm pretty sure these days that would incite a suspension and a public lashing.

I think SWAT may be involved lol
We used to toss Nerf footballs around in Jr. High and High School. In fact, it was the only ball that Mom allowed my sister and I to toss around inside the house! My Himalayan cat, "Pearl", loves the mini-Nerf balls. We spent many hours having fun, me tossing the little Nerf balls and the little fur-ball chasing them. Maybe the school bureaucrats should just lighten up and concentrate on education? Is that too much to ask?[cerberus];3234349 said:I remember back in high school my friend brought his potato cannon (gun just doesn't do it justice) in for a science project.
I built one in a science class in High School. got the ok from the teacher, principal even saw the test fire and thought it was cool. I think this was 1998/1999
Well, if your kids are going to do that, they will be expelled from school anyway. Why not just go for broke. Build a homemade 60mm or 81mm mortar as a "science project" and fire it in the schoolyard. The police response and the criminal penalties will likely be the same.So a physics class project - building trebuchet and firing pumpkins would be considered a weapon project?
heh, I remember in Industrial arts. a kid taking a 3 foot long PVC tube and launching a model rocket from it in the gneral direction of the grounds crew.. those were the days
ah the pussification of America continues
