Yes, its a gun. But it was in his private office. Kids have no business snooping around in his private office.

Now, if it was widely known that this guy kept a gun in his office, that is a different story. But it seems it was a secret that he kept one hidden in his brief case. Some nosey kids just decided to snoop through his personal things to see what they could find.

You gotta ask yourself what kind of kid would go through the personal possessions of an authority figure and take what catches his eye. That kid is SERIOUS trouble. There is probably zero future for a kid like that except JAIL. Ford was just very unlucky.

What if he had left his wedding ring in the center drawer of his desk? If someone had taken that, you wouldn't blame ford for it. You'd blame the little criminal that swiped it! This is no different.

You know what I'm going to say to that don't you? Here it is anyway. There has to be a lot more care taken with respect to firearms than with a peice of jewlery.

I guess that I should have said before that I do hold this kid responible, a hell of a lot more so than Ford. But I still think that he should have taken better care to make sure that his firearms were under his control which they obviously were not.

Yeah,he may even have to stay home from school and watch cartoons for about 3 days. The truth is he could walk up to somebody on the street and murder them in cold blood,and still be out of juvie jail when he turns 18,and he won't even have a criminal record. He knows it,and all his friends know it. There are NO consequences to them from the legal system for any crime they commit,other than "hero" or "bad ass" status when they go back to school.
