We should have provided a trigger warning for PP.

Parents are going to go ballistic when they see this letter...

Taking aim at another point, metal detectors in high schools are similar to TSA at the airport: Security Theater. It may provide comfort to some, but there is no 100% effective defense against contraband when there are so many people and moving parts involved.

For all you know the metal detectors could be why the gun was found.

Quit sniping at Jeff. It's not his fault.

My wilson kid said it was found in a bacpack in a locker and someone who knew about it went to an adult.

Parents will definitely go in lock, stock and barrel to insist on how there could be such breech in security.

Just a shot in the dark but doors are open and security is nonexistent early in the am when i drop my kid off for before school activities.

If this is true, very big kudos to the kid who reported it to an adult. And to his or her parents for raising them right!!!

This happened several times when I was in high school in early nineties (in Florida.) There were no metal detectors. The administration would get tipped off by a student.

I remember one time they didn't even wait for the cops. The assistant principal just went into the classroom and wrestled the kid to the ground. You gotta love Florida!

Too far?

Yes. You all like a bunch of right-wing gun apologists. I don't think you'll find it all so hilarious when someone brings a gun into your child's school.

And what do you sound like, trying to muzzle everyone?

At least kids are starting to understand the "if you see something, say something" mantra. Thank goodness a child went to an adult.

Was there an alligator involved? There must have been an aligator.

My son heard that the kid with the gun posted a picture of it on SnapChat. That's third or fourth hand though, so not necessarily true.
