Jack goes quail hunting before school and then pulls into the school parking lot with his shotgun in his truck’s gun rack.

1959 - Vice Principal comes over, looks at Jack’s shotgun, goes to his car and gets his shotgun to show Jack.

2009 - School goes into lock down, FBI called, Jack hauled off to jail and never sees his truck or gun again. Counselors called in for traumatized students and teachers.

This happened in Augusta a couple months back...I’ll see if I can find the story.

Found it! That didn't take long.

Wes Ivie, a 16-year-old junior and star lineman on the school's undefeated football team, had been serving an in-school suspension during his appeal. He must now attend the alternative school for the rest of the semester before returning to Evans High, according to a written summary of the board's Tuesday night decision.

The teen said he had forgotten that he'd left a hunting rifle in his vehicle after a weekend trip, according to both his mother, Anita Ivie, and a police report. When he saw police at the school conducting a random search Oct. 24 he reported the gun at the school office and was not charged.

His parents are furious and last I heard (through the grapevine, so may not be accurate) were considering homeschooling after this year and possibly getting a lawyer.

The other day my husband and I were talking about drive by shootings. He said he never worried about them when he was in high school because the rednecks with rifles in their vehicles outnumbered the gangbangers at his school. BTW, this was less than twenty years ago.
