Boy suspended for taking (shotgun bullet) shell casing to preschool, mom's Facebook post goes viral

An Illinois mom behind a viral Facebook post spoke to Fox 2/News 11 Wednesday.

Her son, Hunter, 4, has been suspended from his preschool for bringing a shell casing from a fired bullet to school.

He'd been at the preschool for about a year, she said, and now was in tears.

Neither she nor Hunter's dad knew it, but he found something he thought was pretty neat and he took it to school Tuesday to show his friends.

Well....when I was escorted to the office for a sit down. I was handed a tiny .22 empty brass casing. Not a "shotgun bullet". He found it on the ground, expelled from a 22 Rifle over the weekend, while Hunter was target practicing with his Police Officer Grandpa. He was so excited, and snuck it to school to show his friends. We had no idea about it.

I was handed a piece of paper. No words, just eyebrows raised in disgust at my son, explaining that his behavior warranted a 7 school day suspension. Which I still was expected to pay tuition for, of course. And a threat that if his enthusiasm for guns continued, he'd be permanently expelled.

My 5th grade science project was a technical breakdown of a 30-06 rifle cartridge with various displays of live rounds, nitrocellulose gun powder, live primers, before and after bullets, the works. Got second place.

I worked a full time job and as much over time as I could wife stayed home. Home schooled and raised the children.

Sorry it doesn’t cut the mustard with me.

It is all about good and proper money management.

In 11th grade, I gave a demonstration speech that required a small amount of denatured alcohol and a lighter.

I, uh, used way, way too much denatured alcohol. I don’t think I scorched the ceiling but it was close.

We were videotaping the speech. On replay, the flame was so hot that the screen went white.

Pretty cool and I got a good grade.

[cyclotic]

Me too and I agree.

Outside of the house and an occasional car payment, we managed to pull it off with no debt and it was hard, but life is meant to be difficult.

My wife was reading me something from Ramsey today about mortgages. He says 15 year at 25% take home income max. That would put us in a home in a neighborhood where we would not be safe.

We live in a small house in a stable neighborhood. But, we can afford our house payment so that’s where we will stay.

I agree with Dave on a lot of money matters home buying isn’t one of them.

I was doing Ramsey before there was Ramsey.

My initial reaction was 'What the (bleep) is a 'Shotgun Bullet'. Somebody trying to say 'slug'? Then I looked and saw it was a .22. Now I want to see a .22 cal. shotgun. Looks like they've fixed the headline now.

[wardaddy]

No kidding

Just look at that Montgomery county school soup

[Big Red Badger]

Could have been a
.22 Snake Shot Cartridge.

[Cobra64]

No such thing. Maybe a slug round is the closest to that. Ain't no shotgun "casing" either. No bullet casings neither. Casings are for sausages. Empty brass are "cases."

Brass / cases:

[wardaddy]

I’ve got those on my tree

And VMI cadet ornaments

And Confederate ornaments

It’s always a very un PC tree

And Ole Miss ornaments too and Colonel Reb

We’d have to have those ammonia sniffers we kept for Mississippi summer football practice for folks who fainted

Just in case a snowflake hipster got in my house and faintef

[wardaddy]

At first I thought that was just makeup and hair dye but it’s a blended photo

I failed to understand why homosexuals tout transgender as their issue

I guess to destroy normal sexual mores so they can further force their iwn

[Billthedrill]

Looks like a dum-dum shotgun bullet to me. That’s the worst kind.

[marktwain]

that fired rimfire brass is non-reloadable.

Practically correct. But there are enthusiasts who do reload them. Hardly worth the effort...

Great Post!

Home school!

Thanks.
The cleansing of this once great nation, whether by the hand of man or the hand of God, will be a bloody and terrible thing.

A political solution is no longer a viable option because the liberals will not let us go in peace they are so hell bent on having their way.
This country now makes Soddom and Gomorrah look like a warm spring day.

May God bless you and yours.

Looks like a shotgun bullet from an AK-47, possibly with a cop killing silencer. Dangerous stuff.

I know you mentioned AK-47, but you really need to say “Assault Weapon” so everyone understands the gravity of the situation.

[Big Red Badger]

You touch a nerve...thanks.

I’ve always said;

If America is Not judged

An Apology!

“If America is Not judged
God owes Sodom and Gomorrah
An Apology!”

So very true.

These Brenneke 600-grain slugs are nice when a guy is scouting for big game or just prowling up high.

Especially since griz (and wolves) have been granted Preferred Status here in what used to be elk, moose, deer, goat and sheep habitat...not to mention farm and ranch country.
