1. Sounds like a highly trained expert teacher

2. Hmmm

And a reserve police officer too.

3. Poorly handled is putting it mildly

But no one at the school checked to make sure that all of the students were uninjured, Gonzales said. The school day resumed as normal, and Seaside Police Department officers launched an investigation.

The 17-year-old boy's parents were shocked when he returned home with blood on his shirt and bullet fragments in his neck. The student's parents rushed him to a hospital for X-rays.

"He's shaken up, but he's going to be OK," Gonzales told KSBW. "I'm just pretty upset that no one told us anything and we had to call the police ourselves to report it."

8. Can you imagine the kid's parents filing the police report?

"Well, one of your reserve officers shot our child."

5. Gee. No one saw THAT coming.

How many more will it take? Parents should be screaming in front of their schooks.

7. Get ready for one incident after another

Many with fatalities

9. Oh dear, the gun fired itself during a gun safety class.

Dennis Alexander was teaching a course about gun safety for his Administration of Justice class when his gun went off at 1:20 p.m.

Alexander was pointing his gun at the ceiling when it fired. Pieces of the ceiling fell to the ground.

The teacher had just told the class that he wanted to make sure his gun wasn't loaded, when the gun fired, according to Gonzales.

11. Yeah, not what most people thought.

Then again, the idea of a teacher who's a CWP holder and carrying just routinely teaching, say, chemistry or history, in a California classroom, stuck out as wildly improbable. At least to me.

Note that in Texas if you want to carry in a classroom you have to have more training than most police have. And that's retrograde Texas.

10. Accidentally? I'll settle for unintentionally . . . maybe

I have been assured over and over again that guns don't go off on their own, and if that's the case, there's no such thing as an accidental discharge. The gun did just what it was supposed to do, just maybe not what Free Fire Jones had in mind.

12. Guns in the classroom... what could go wrong?

14. Another for the "what could possibly go wrong" files

Stoopid Republicans and fucking EVIL NRA.
