Re: Meaning of \"Meine Ehre Heibt Treue?\"
"Have you asked the teacher about this? From what I have read the last few years, kids bringing knives to school get expelled, charged and the knife confiscated. She might get a lesson you really don't want her to learn. "
I good friend of mine made that mistake when he was in college in the 80's. He had to do a presentation for his public speaking class. He decided to do it on something he grew up around and was knowledgeable about, revolver and semi-auto handguns. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
He arrived at class with a revolver and a semi-auto pistol. Both were in cases and had the firing pins removed. When it was his turn to give his presentation, he set them out on the table and began to explain the differences, safe handling etc. Immediately, two girls got up and left the class (to summon the campus police).
When he finished and left the classroom, two police officers were waiting. They were relieved that he had rendered the guns "safe" by removing the firing pins, no ammunition etc. They escorted him to his car to make sure there were no "incidents" after a lengthy talk.
It's bad enough that this was in the 80's. Today, I'm sure a SWAT team would have been called. It never occured to him that this was inappropriate, he'd been around guns all his life.
BTW:
The teacher wanted to give him an A+ for the quality of the presentation. Due to the topic, and the failure to think it through, he was given a F.
