Of all places to go... suppose it is a gun-free zone, but not a mudslime-free zone.

I thought a ‘revolver’ was a pistol or a handgun, too. But apparently they only apply to self-loading (’automatic’) pistols.
Wheelguns have a status all by themselves.

I noticed the name of the school as well.

Should be a warning to the U.S.
