Did the kid break the law - Yes

Was it intentional or accidental - Accidental

Did he do the right thing (try to correct the infraction) - Yes

Should he be punished - No

Is he a felon - No

Not that long ago we used to keep our hunting and sporting firearms in our school lockers.  Today you can't even talk about these activities on school grounds.  How much safer have our school grounds become over the last 65 years of removing all of these items, activities, and thoughts from our public school property?

Scold the kid, and have him write a research paper on the history of firearms in the United States.  Warning School District - You may not like the facts of his paper.

i disagree about him being punished, he should be, but not to the extent, that they went to. 

[MikeBjerum]

Why TAB?  When he realized he had made a mistake he took immediate steps to correct the issue.  What punishment do you receive if you attempt to carry a knife or ammunition through TSA check points?  This should be no different!

You can take TAB out of California but you can't take the California out of TAB.

So people should not take responseabilty for thier mistakes?   did he try to fix it?  Yes, does that mean it didn't happen?  No.   should it be taken into account for his punishment? Yes.   should he get a free pass?  No.

one more thing that bugs me as a egale scout, being a eagle scout does not make one a good person.  just like being a college grad does not make you smart.

I bet he keeps better track of his gun from now on.
