http://www.volunteertv.com/Global/story.asp?S=3765427 <br /><br />2 7th graders caught with guns in school. One kid gets shot in the leg... not serious but shot nonetheless. Read the story.<br /><br /><br />This is in my hometown. Think it cant happen to you? <br />I personally have no guns, but I have no problems with people that have them. Just lock them up. If you feel the need to sleep with one under your pillow... fine. I could care less if you shoot yourself in the head while your sleeping. A very simple thing to do when you wake up.. Get a permit and holster it or lock it up.<br /><br />I hate bureaucratic bull crap but lets face it.. I'm starting to believe that before you are allowed to own a gun you must first take a govt funded gun safety course that includes classroom time and 7 hours of emergancy room voyeur time. Sad thing is I think with all the shock factor news we see on a daily basis, I dont think any of it would sink in anyway.<br /><br />Dont think it can happen to you or yours? I can almost guarrantee if you had a chat with the parents of these kids over coffee, they would all say "I cant imagine what got into him, he's just not that kind of kid." <br /><br />Now go ahead think to yourself... "my kid would never do a thing like that." How about you eliminate the "impossibilities of your kid ever doing something he or she isnt supposed to", by just locking up your guns when your not sleeping with them or cleaning them.<br /><br />The kid you save may be your own, or perhaps, the kid you save maybe be saved FROM your own.
