So.....94% on her project/presentation. Teacher was also very interested on the Van Doo's and how she tied that in with the Ross Rifle part of her project.

Thank you everyone!!
 
When my sister was in grade 7, I loaned her my Ross rifle to bring to class for show and tell during lessons on WWI.

She carried it up the street to the school.

I was in school pre-columbine. We could have possibly gotten away with that with prior permission.
Now a kid holds a chicken nugget and says pew pew it's a suspension or expulsion.
I'm scared for my children. They inherit this ####ty world.

On a regular basis we brought air rifles to school and put them in our locker. riding our illegal dirt bikes with said rifles sticking out our backpacks. I did let my son bring a target he shot to school for show and tell. That was the compromise since he originally asked to bring his rascal lol.

I'm glad it worked out. Congratulations to her for having the courage to undertake such a risky project.

In Canada, taking a picture of a gun to school could have resulted in suspension, psychiatric evaluation, sensitivity training (at your expense, of course) and compulsory medication.

What part of the country do you live in?
 
When I was in Grade 11 in Saskatoon, I got permission from the principal and my social studies teacher to bring in some examples as we were doing WWI and WWII at the time. I took in a Gew 98, K98, SLME, #4, P14, helmets and bayonets, and an old DEWAT 08/15, and everyone in the class got to hold them and see what they weighed and looked like. It was a lot of fun and informative, but no way would something like that ever be allowed to happen now, unfortunately. MAkes history come alive.
