Chicago-area school officials don't like 'no guns' stickers that picture guns
• Published February 05, 2014


School officials in a Chicago suburb are not thrilled with a state law passed last year requiring schools to post a "no gun" sticker featuring an image of a handgun with a red slash through it.

Guns were already not allowed in schools before the law was passed, and now some school officials are worried the image on the warning sign might send the wrong message.

“One of my biggest concerns as a principal is safety and security,” Tinley Park High School Principal Theresa Nolan told the Southtown Star. “It is bothersome to have to post a sticker of a gun that says, ‘Hey, folks, leave your guns at home.'"

Nolan said she feared the image could be misinterpreted.

The sticker has an image of a handgun. Everybody knows the real problem is assault rifles.

Maybe it could be interpreted as a political message to ban handguns in general and not just specifically on school grounds?

"Nolan said she feared the image could be misinterpreted."


Well, who would know better about the comprehensive skills of the students at her school?

They wouldn't have to worry about the stickers if they allowed guns in the schools. Problem solved.

One elective you could take when I was in Jr High was a hunter safety course. Part of the course was gun safety: safe and proper handling , cleaning, and shooting. We had an indoor shooting range and if you took this class you could bring your own .22 rifle to school rather use one of the school’s. Of course you had to check it in at the shooting range immediately when you got there but it was no big deal at the time.

One module in physical education was archery. We did target practice with real arrows and stuff. One project you could do in wood shop was to make a recurve bow.

This was back in the early-mid 80's. Not sure if they still do this stuff, but boy how times have changed.

My older brother took my dad's Browning 9mm into school his sophomore year when he had to give a speech and demonstrate something. He broke it down and cleaned it for the class. This wasn't a public school so maybe things were different even back in the 70's.

TG's right. It would be a great diversion; stickers for "no topless girls", "no scotch and waters", "no twerking".

This could be the next big dot com business . . . .

How about posting a warning sign of a red circle with a slash over an image of a brain at the schools then? Brick wall
