I went to a public high school in the Boston Area in the early 80’s. We had a rifle team. Rifle team members would ride the school bus with their rifles.

What a refreshing story! Yea!

Ping!

Awesome!

We blued and refinished ours in shop class all the time. 80s too. Guns in out pick up gun racks too. In the school lot.

We had to WALK IN TO THE PRINCIPLES OFFICE WITH THE GUN to verify it was not loaded before walking through the halls with it to shop. No one batted an eye.

Me too!

As a bonus, Liberty University with it’s concealed carry policy is one of the safest college campuses in the country.

Take that, Princeton High School administration twits! :)

The scales of justice seem to be out of balance in some cases.....

They have said that it’s unfair that he wasn’t allowed the same concessions as an assistant principal who made the same mistake in 2011 when she unwittingly brought a gun to school and was suspended for three days without pay but didn’t face criminal charges....

Great story!! The only problem is that Falwell should not have gone public with the decision to award the scholarship because it will piss off the “authorities” and they’ll be even more harsh with the kid.

Common core schools...they are indoctrinating. Make shunning guns the new anti cigarette campaign.

Props to Liberty U!

[ExCTCitizen]

What a great ending...

[smoothsailing]

I like what Falwell did and the fact he did it so publicly.

The more light we shine on these Common Core leftist scum “administrators” the better, IMO.

Because of the scrutiny they may well back off from their gestapo tactics, at least temporarily.

What the school meant for evil, the Lord meant for good.

Cole Withrow was expelled from school and charged with a felony after school administrators overheard a private conversation between Withrow and his mother about the gun

If it'd been Malik, the dreadlocked homie who belongs to a gang, talking sh*t about his Glock, they would've let all this slide quietly by.
