[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school and police are reportedly investigating. The fact that we haven’t heard about consequences yet (the day after the incident) doesn’t mean that there won’t be any.

I suspect the letter today was a warning to all parents - if your kid pulls something like this, there will be consequences for them AND YOU if it’s determined that they got the gun from an unsecured household. Perhaps foreshadowing what might be the story here?? Don’t have any insider knowledge, just reading between the lines. [/quote]

A reasonable interpretation.

§ 18.2-56.2. Allowing access to firearms by children; penalty.
A. It shall be unlawful for any person to recklessly leave a loaded, unsecured firearm in such a manner as to endanger the life or limb of any child under the age of fourteen. Any person violating the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

B. It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to authorize a child under the age of twelve to use a firearm except when the child is under the supervision of an adult. Any person violating this subsection shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. For purposes of this subsection, "adult" shall mean a parent, guardian, person standing in loco parentis to the child or a person twenty-one years or over who has the permission of the parent, guardian, or person standing in loco parentis to supervise the child in the use of a firearm.
