Oh my. How times have changed...

Talking about guns with my co-workers (also gun enthusiast) is against the rules. Apparently the term/word "gun" is on the companies list of "inappropriate content"....like I am looking at sluts or something online while at work...


I am going to have so much trouble with my son when he starts going to school. To me guns are as American as Baseball and hotdogs and yet here we are unable to talk about them.

when I was a senior, they trained drug dogs that were rescues from the pound at our highschool. One of them went nuts on my truck, presumably since my unfinished breakfast was in a burger king bag in the bed.

they pulled me from class, acted like I was a hardened criminal slangin from my truck. The searched my truck, and came up with two cigarettes. I was laughing at them, the trainers apologized to me when the dog got in the bed and went straight to the half eaten breakfast sandwich. The police didnt think it was nearly as funny as the rest of us there, including the admin. We had a zero tolerance policy, so I had to get punished. One of the cops was cool about it, knowing that it was pretty much bullshit and a waste of his time, while the other seemed like he wanted me to go to jail. I ended up with a ticket, and had to do some in school suspension.

I went to court, and the judge told me he was inclined to throw it out, but couldnt, since I did break the law. I was then 18, and he gave me differed adjudication for my minor in possession of tobacco. I was hesitant, but when he asked if I understood that I would be finned if I got another MIT, I told him I was now 18, and didnt think that would be an issue. He said "well then I guess you wont be back in my court for getting another minor in possession of tobacco, huh"

The principal that I had never met all through high school had to give me ISS, but set it for a time when I wouldn't be missing any school sponsored events, and then they let me out of it early, and dismissed a day because I was done with two days' assignments, plus they needed the room for the kids that needed to be there. It was a joke, and a direct result of the zero tolerance policy.

Zero tolerance and overly-strict rules/laws/regulations is the easiest, most efficient way for people who can't lead or manage, control a population.
