Arming Your Kid With BB Gun, Knife To Fight School Bullies

2010_10_christmasstory.jpg We know they say never bring a knife to a gunfight, but what about bringing a knife and BB gun to school, because your mom wants to make sure you can defend yourself against bullies? A Connecticut woman was arrested and charged with risk of injury to a minor after school officials discovered "a pistol-style BB gun and a folding knife in [her son's] backpack Friday afternoon." Why? Sylvia Mojica allegedly told police her son was being bullied and the school's security also said it "had seen the boy being chased by other students on at least one previous occasion."

    I agree with the sentiment that a kid needs to stand up for him / her self, but what ever happened to just kicking a bully in the nuts?

    Was that bad advice? anyway, next time hide your stuff in the bushes, wait till bully get's off school grounds, then go to town.
