The school called home and wanted to discuss what they found in the pack last week. One spent .223 shell and one live round.
I think they were inadvertantly left in the bag by the child and that was the official story but the bottom line was they were in the pack.

I'll spare the details of the treatment of the child and the parental response but suffice it to say had it not been a private school, there could have been some serious issues. The Zero Tolerance climate we live in now could have turned this into a really big deal.


Moral of the story: Don't use the day to day school packs for "other uses!" Seriously consider a separate pack for extracurricular activities.

On this same note, with hunting season coming up, remember that Mexico is ruthless with it's restriction on the smuggling of military arms. A single .308 or .223 round left in a bag or on the floor of a vehicle taken across the border is a Felony and have serious, lasting implications on your life and USA gun rights.


That's a very good point to remember.

Be safe and double check the bags!
