Ok. This thread has gone on long enough and covered just about every point except the one which I originally made in my first response, which is that I abhor the idea that kids should carry weapons (of any sort) to school as standard equipment. In fact, I abhor the idea that kids should carry weapons at school for any reason.

Enough said.

I do not care to discuss:

1. Should kids have any weapons at any time?

2. Should kids have guns (specifically guns)?

3. Should kids know how to operate weapons of any sort?

If any of you really really have to discuss this issue, let's spare the rest of the list and send me E-Mail directly.

Thanks!

Should kids have crypto? [weapons] Should parents teach their kids crypto at an early age? Should kids have a right to privacy? If yes, should there be a limit to the privacy they hold? Under Itar crypto is a weapon. If a kid were to bring a disk containing pgp to school could they be expelled for carrying a weapon? Should children's legal rights be taught at school at an early age?
