Well, it is hunting season, so more opportunity for this to happen.

These instances are a horrific example of what a joke "zero tolerance" is.  Zero tolerance as implemented in our schools mean "zero need for school officials to think".   Just like those kids that get expelled from school when they are caught with drugs.  You know, a couple ibuprofen.

So how does the Federal Law deal with Shooting/Hunting Clubs at schools? And how does this Federal Law deal with Arizona's "Gun 101" class which is now an elective class?

This is why I opposed LB63 in Nebraska because it made it a felony just to have mere possession of a firearm on school grounds regardless if it is on YOUR PROPERTY (Inside your car).

NFOA should add this "zero tolerance" crap on our long list of legislative goals and we need to fight to undo the damage that was done by LB 63 in regards to a felony charge for just possessing a firearm on school grounds in a vehicle. Other states have enshrined into their respective state laws that a person's vehicle is an extension of one's home. Whatever is inside a person's vehicle is on that person's property. No school, or employer or anyone has any business nor the right to tell you what you can or cannot possess inside your own vehicle!
What's next? Are they going to tell us our kids can't possess a Bible on the front seat of their vehicle on school grounds because it may offend someone? They are already telling kids that you can't pray in school, even by yourself.

We need to push for a state law in Nebraska that will declare one's vehicle an extension of one's home. And we need to pass along with it legislation that will forbid the possession of firearms in employees vehicles while parked at work.

That last line does not make any sense...

Can you clarify that?
