Did you guess "jacket"? I didn't think so. Sure, it's Connecticut, which Brady rates as having the 2nd "best" unconstitutional anti-gun "gun safety" laws in the U.S., but still, a jacket? I hope people vote... including at the school board level, to remove the worst of the worst from making public policy.

Student in Military Jacket Prompts Lockdown at Southington School: Police

http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Jfk-Middle-School-in-Southington-on-Lockdown-275295201.html

JFK Middle School in Southington was on lockdown Tuesday after a student in a military-style jacket prompted concerns from staff members, who called police to report a suspicious person at the school.

According to police, a student matching the staff member's description was found in a classroom and identified as the person in question.

The student did not pose a threat and, after completing a secondary search, police gave the all clear. The lockdown was lifted shortly before 1 p.m.

That there are people this stupid in charge of educating our children scares me far more than the possibility of another mass shooting.

So, tell me again how it's the gun nuts in America who are

PARANOID!!

Need a military clothing free zone law passed to avoid these deadly confrontations.

So much for the first amendment.


So a student wearing a mil jacket raises alarms but an ex-drug dealer can wear a SEAL trident and various other uniforms without earning them?

Be Aware!

Yeah, had that been in effect in 1967 the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper" album cover would have been illegal (not that I can imagine any military using those uniforms...)... of course probably so would have been using the word "sergeant". I just wonder if the parents of students in these schools with the extreme ("zero tolerance") rules ("Chapstick" was banned in one school district a month or so ago as being a "drug"...) ever go to a school board meeting and ask questions, or demand answers. What kind of an answer could they get? "Think of it from the perspective of today's indoctrinated college-educated teachers: anything resembling anything to do with the military or firearms is evil, therefore: call the cops." Turning all this around is going to be like turning a super-tanker wherein the captain is ordering to stay on course for the iceberg.

Ya never know, he could have had a loaded ruler or a PB&J in the shape of a gun under that jacket. Ohh tactical!

Yep, got to watch out for those subversives in uniform:

but this is ok?
