Rather than continuing to store it in the garage, put it somewhere its easily accessed. Somewhere un-suspicious, somewhere that if anyone saw you with the item it would seem normal. Rather than the two boys going out to the garage and then coming back into the house, which might seem a bit odd, or stur up questions.

What i dont get is why did the mom call the teacher? Why didnt she call oh i dont know, THE PARENT of the other kid. I mean her son obviously is willing to talk about the matter, it wouldnt be hard to get "lil jimmys" phone number/address and deal with it yourself.

Aside from the "theft" of the gun, which could be delt with by the grandfather, IE hitting, i dont see the crime. Sounds like a case of "pre-crime" They saw the posibility of it happening, prevented it, and yet are still having some form of litigation over it.

Frankly school needs to stay the hell out of kids lives except for the 6 or so hours that there actually there. This shit about how everything a kid does now in life some how gets him punished by his school is bullshit. So what you got a MIP on a saturday night, what the fuck does that have to do with your school. NOTHING, whats the point of suspending you? Punishment? Thats what i thought the POLICE would take care of with there fines and assorted torturous legal techneques. The way i see it, and i'll dig into my deep understanding of highschoolers/jrhigh kids minds, is that if you can go drinking and it gets you suspended (IE get out of school free card) arnt you truly winning twice? One, you get to drink, two, you wont have to go to school for a few days because they wont "let" you. The only downside is the police activity involved. Most kids wouldnt go to school if they didnt have to, so saying there not allowed to, well shit, thats a god aweful "punishment".[/quote:eff21]
