If 'tribunals ' become acceptable when dealing with six year old children, there is at least a possibility there could be 71 bullets in the chamber ( 7+1 ) or ...!

If not zero.... It cannot be any more than one.

well, technically, if it was a muzzleloader, he could have loaded more than one bullet in the chamber....:p

And I'm glad there were no injuries because you know these guns can jump out and hurt people.

Had this happened when I was in elementary school, the situation would have been handled thusly: A teacher would have taken the weapon from me and marched me to the principal's office. There we would have awaited law enforcement, who would have asked me how I happened upon the weapon. If I had taken it from my parent's house or a friend's house, the weapon would have been returned with a lecture about not letting kids get hold of firearms and I would have to carry a pillow to sit on for about a week. If I had found it on the street and decided to show it off I would have been lectured and the weapon taken as possible evidence, and if I lied about that but had really taken it from family or friend I would need that pillow for TWO weeks, and I would have known it and not lied. Especially for Kindergateners back then a "disciplinary tribunal" would have been thought bizzare and almost laughable, something akin to trying to sell the State a "booster seat" for the electric chair.

Nowadays "squirt guns" are only authorized (if at all) if they are shaped like bananas or fruit. But you know what? CONDOMS make great water balloons and you can get them from the school nurse, no questions asked, in a lot of places even if you are only 12. How in hell did everyday life get to resemble a damned game of Wack- A - Mole??:banghead::banghead:
