How is this a 9/11 souvenir??? I must have missed the shooting part of the attack.

That said, he most certainly did violate school policy. I can’t imagine any school allowing students to bring in ammo, live or spent. Nobody knows if it has gunpowder or metal fragments left in it.

Go easy on him though, since it was accidental. None of that zero-tolerance crap.

Ahh, The P-38. I still have mine. issued to me in 1960 at Fort Campbell,KY
It worked on C-Rations back then, and still works fine today.

I don’t think kids can bring flags to show & tell anymore. Leastways not our U.S. flag. Mexican & Cuban are preferred.

This would have never happened 40 years ago. Of course, when I was in grade school in rural PA, the 5th and 6th grade history teacher/vice-principal was also the owner of the local gun store.

Too young for C-rations....but some of the P-38’s were still floating around in the army, in the early 1990’s. Mostly opened coffee cans with them

I suppose if you hit somebody with it hard enough it could leave a red round mark.

I’m a member of my local VFW Honor Guard and at wakes and funerals after giving three fired shell casings to the family along with a Flag we sometimes with permission and understanding of the parents hand some of the remaining fired cases to a few of the children present if they show an interest.

“I am sure that nothing in the student code of conduct prohibits bringing an empty brass tube to school.”

It’s not an empty brass tube, it’s a shell casing. It’s not a toy and it’s not for kids. The school has no way of knowing where it came from, how it was emptied, or whether it’s been tampered with in some half-assed attempt at reloading. In other words, it’s still potentially dangerous to other students, and that is most definitely the school’s business and their responsibility.

If the school has a specific policy against bringing ammo to school, then this kid violated it. Go easy on him with the silent lunch, but don’t pretend it’s okay to bring something like this to school.

He should have pulled out a US quarter, you know, the Massachusetts quarter that has an ARMED Minuteman on it. . .would have caused the school administrators and teachers to faint because of the sheer terror of it all. . .

“but they will see the sharp pointed corner and call it knife.”

It is a knife, and it is dangerous in a child’s hands. If the school has a no-knife policy, then it has no place in a little kid’s pocket.

In Vietnam we were sometimes left with having to dine on Korean War vintage C-Rats.

That’s a wonderful bit of tradition. Is it commonplace at Army funerals?
