David, I believe you display wisdom beyond your years by recognizing the fact that a "rule is a rule". Obviously the young man in question did not consider the consequences of ignoring tht rule. I remember that when I was a young lad that it was nothing to carry a Barlow or Boy scout knife in our ,to school, but today is much different. We even as adults are not allowed to carry the same knife on an airplane. Those of us who would try and get caught must expect the harshest treatment and punishment, because we are not ignorant of the rule, whether we think it fair or not. YOur friend must not have thought much of his football career if it meant so little to him as to carry a pellet gun to school. Whether he is a "good kid or a "bad kid" is irrelevent. He may have been "not a bad kid" as you describe him, but the question is, What does a nice kid have in mind when carrying a pellet gun to school. And why should he think he is above the rules? Would you want one of your own children to attend a school where gun rules were so blatently and casually ignored? I think not. To me, one year suspension is certainly in order. Perhaps, even, too lenient. Would you think one years suspension was too strict if you or one of your close friends were to lose an eye or become disabled due to this persons disregard for the rules? This is much different than the student who was suspended for having a birthday cake knife in the back of his truck. This guy made a conscious decision to bring a pellet gun into the school.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
