I remember when kids could and would join their High School Rifle Teams. Also remember the end of it because of lead particulates. What a shame. Kids are really missing out aren't they ? They weren't shooting Daisey caseless either. No, I bought my 40X from a group of rifles, including Winchester 52s which came from a High School in upstate NY. Best $225.00 Ive ever spent. Remington 40X, shooting jacket, upper arm cuff sling, Palma sight and Olympic front with inserts, hand stop, all of it. I can promise the kids are missing out. | |||

I had a few LIVE .223 rounds end up in my carry on luggage on a flight to Chicago. I had used my usual carry-on backpack at the range, only because I was alone and otherwise couldn't carry everything I wanted to use. I guess, while I was unloading for cease fires, live rounds flew back into that backpack. Fortunately, the TSA guy who found them was a gun guy. We chatted about our AR builds while the Phoenix PD cop filled out a postcard for me to sign, letting me "surrender" the ammo to Phoenix PD. Thankfully, this happened in Phoenix and not in Chicago or Berlin or London, where I went later. | |||

I learned from experience not to take a travel bag to the range nor use anything I take to the range for air travel. While going through security at SLC I noticed I was being pointed at and had the full attention of the TSA. I was approached by two agents. "Is this your bag?" "Yes." "can you explain this?" In his hand was my missing USP Compact mag unloaded. I imagine the look on my face was telling. I explained that I thought I had cleaned the bag out before packing. That I take it to the range because it is a hydrator. The made me mail it back to myself. So now nothing that goes to the range ever gets packed for air travel. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

I believe that's really what it boils down to. No sane person could believe that what was found represented a clear and present danger. However; out of an abundance of caution, let's send a clear message that guns and anything to do with guns are bad by disrupting as many lives as possible and cancel classes for the rest of the day. How many parents' days were screwed up because they had to leave work early, cancel appointments, etc. to pickup their kids from school or be home early when the bus brought the kids home. What message are those parents that don't have an opinion on firearms getting from this? | |||

The eye rolling was probably what got you released. They felt pity for the ribbing you were going to get later. The "let's get out of today's chem test" ploy was the first thing that popped into my mind. Salt the hallway with a few spent .22 as you mooch innocently along, then wait for the alarms to go off. === I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. | |||

When I was assigned in DC, our Human Resources building would get regular Bomb threats. At noon. On Friday. As the bomb squad took time to deploy and hours to search, the employees got the rest of the day off. Given traffic in DC this was a real gift. Command finally had enough. The next threat was met with many police and staff were told there would be a search while the employees stayed on site. Think the6 got released about 6. That ended the bomb threats. Same here. Lock the building down and bring in the police. Check back packs and such. “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | |||
