I'd have to agree with some of the others on this one. He never should have brought any kind of weapon to school much less any kind of gun. A kid in high school should definatly have had sense enough to know that it was very wrong to bring it into the school building. I just got out of high school myself a couple of years ago, and the rules are very clear that weapons are not tolerated and there was no pocket knives with blades over a certain length allowed and certainly no guns or ammunition.
Not only did he bring it into the building, but he also hid it which is a scary thing, maybe someone else would have discovered it and shot someone, or maybe he was going to use it or threaten to use it on someone else, or maybe he was just bringing it in to show it to his friends, but the list of maybes is very long and the bottom line is they are not tolerated and injury or death could have resulted, even though he had no intentions of that happening. The school has an obligation to the parents and the people who work in it to keep everyone safe.

On the other hand the chances of him continuing high school after this incident are pretty low, maybe a year is alittle harsh, and he should have counceling instead. Basically nobody wants a shooting, and the school is covering themselves by booting him for a year and the school wants to get across to everyone and even make an example out of him that weapons are not tolerated, period. If they went lightly on him then there would be guns in the school.
