A janitor who could not tell a multicolored NERF gun from a real UZI caused the Cupertino High School to shut down in a code red situation. The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s SWAT team raided the school and found the bright orange, yellow, peach and silver-colored NERF guns.
The report of an UZI at a high school must have been very concerning to the officers that stormed the school. I bet they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the NERF guns.
The school confiscated all of the NERF guns under the premise that “replicas of firearms are not allowed at the school.” NERF guns that fire soft foam rubber cylinders for a couple of feet are not replica firearms.
They are fun toys that the school officials should be glad their students are using for good, safe, clean, non-violent fun.
The GS2AC is offering to train all the Cupertino High School employees with a special set of courses. What would you recommend for educating the school employees?
This kind of lunacy has never been unusual for California. Trouble is, that this lack of common sense has spread to “educators” just about everywhere.
I’ve been looking for that job for over 30 years and still am. I hope you have etetbr luck than me.It all starts by getting published in various gun rags and becoming a Gun Writer . And if your *ever* do a bad review of a product you will never see anything from that manufacturer again. In my opinion gun writers are one step above prostitutes. I have yet to see anyone write something negative about a product they review just read; Guns and Ammo, Shooting Times, Hunting, American Handgunner and you will see what I mean. Read any article in these magazines and you will glean that their hunting trip being written about was sponsored by some ammo, optic, or gun manufacturer.Most Gun magazine editors or publishers will not even talk to you unless you have a degree in English or show proof of your writing skills. Start by getting *anyone* to publish something you wrote, then go from there.As an aside. All firearms transfers to you for evaluation would go through a local FFL and have to follow state and federal laws.
Get an actual job as a gun reviewer for some credible organization. This will require an extensive background in firearms and most likely some skill at writing either technical or popular. You don’t start from the top of the ladder, you climb it one rung at a time.You might want to look for internet forums dedicated to firearms to help your skill set and get some ideas on the field of firearms. You can also find sites that do reviews and look at the qualifications of the eiverwers. (You will usually find some degrees attached to the name or an extensive history as a (firearm) writer or instructor of some type)Or you could become another one of the internet eiverwers who shoot anything they can borrow and blog about it. They provide comic relief for people who know firearms. (I just saw one testing’ the Judge got some laughs there, it kills watermelons quite well but he’s never heard of ballistics gel.)
