Panic strikes school after student says 'gum'
2015-10-16
[EAGNEWS.ORG] KYLE, Texas – Emotions are on a hair trigger in schools these days. So much so, just hearing the word “gum” can cause a school-wide freak-out, as evidenced by an episode Wednesday.
"Look out! He's got a gum!"
A student at Lehman High School student reportedly asked for some chewing gum, but another student thought the student said “gun,” KCEN reports.
"No, no! I meant chewing gun! I like to gnaw .38 caliber or better!"
No gun was found and Hays County, Texas school district spokesman Tim Savoy insists the school was never in “lock down,” though school administrators did “hold students in their extended class periods to investigate the concern with little to no disruption to their schedule.”
Did they find any Juicy Fruit?

#4  When my dad was in high school in the '30s, he and his buddy used to take their rifles to school so they could go hunting on their way home. They just put the guns in the closet and picked them up at the end of the day.

These days they would have locked down the entire county. Dad and his buddy would have been expelled and sent to counseling.

#2  They're getting a little jumpy in these liberal gun-free zones? They need to start rifle clubs in schools to calm people down. Alas, I guess rifle clubs are a thing of the past in high schools.
