The Post explains that the principal — Jennifer L. Young, according to Dowell Elementary’s website — told the kindergartener’s mother that things would have been even worse had the toy gun been loaded with caps. In that case, the school would have regarded the plaything as an explosive and called the police.

So school officials are too dumb to handle a "loaded" cap gun.

What if they were presented with a real firearm in the school that was just doped by a would be shooter. I bet they would call the cops and hope he doesn't grab it and start shooting. The smart thing would be to take it and neutralize the threat or at least make it safe depending on the situation. I bet they don't know how to do either.

Ding ... Ding ... Ding!!! You nailed it.

You would think that an educated person would know what is an explosive. Buy the way, smokeless gunpowder, used in the manufacture of modern ammunition, isn't an explosive, it is a propellent. A cap is neither an explosive or a propellent.

These morons would have all been wetting themselves if they had seen the actions of the 6-year-old little girl who eventually became Bigg Red.

I remember once having a great time with a hammer and a roll of such caps, the latter of which were most likely filched from one of my big brothers.
