Once again a victim of "no tolerance" policy that conveinently takes the decision making based upon circumstances out of peoples hands. No tolerence is nothing but laziness by people who are too afraid of having to make a common sense decision based on circumstances. What do they feel they are going to accomplish by possibly ruining this young mans life before he's even had a chance to start it? Christ based upon the story i'd say it's pretty obvious that the boy is an avid hunter. It isn't like he was going around braggin he had a gun, or provoking poeple thinking he's a bad ass with a gun.
What I really find unbelievable is how much this very issue has turned on it's head over the years. My grandfather and father both have told me stories of how in their youth they regularly hunted before school and would bring their rifle into school and put it in their locker for the day so they could go back out after school. My father's shop project in school was to refinish a ratty old rifle that he found in a barn. He brought it to shop class and fully refinished it along with his teachers guidance. The company I work for has a similar policy and I've flound it amusing that if they checked vehicles during hunting season they'd probably end up letting go of about a third of the workforce at the plant.
