Personally, I'm convinced that I'm surrounded by idiots (thought that during my youth, but it seems a more pervasive belief now that I've lived in another part of the country for nearly 20 years). But as today's title suggests, read on and decide for yourself.
Our local CBS affiliate's website reports that a gent the same age as my younger son who resides in the same city where my son attends college has been charged with carrying a weapon on school property, carrying a pistol unlawfully, and discharging a firearm within city limits, as well as being suspended from school. His offense, you ask? Well you might: he brought a .40 caliber Smith & Wesson handgun to class at another institution of higher learning. Initial reports were that he'd had the gun in his pocket, it fell out and accidentally went off during class. He later adjusted the tale shared with local law enforcement to say he was holding the gun and accidentally pulled the trigger.
Question #1: WHY are we taking a handgun to ANY institution of higher learning other than the police academy?
Question #2: How many years will he get for this stupidity?
Did I mention my son has met this so-called genius? Predictably, I'm afraid, his first impression wasn't positive.
