"Authorities say a Utah sixth-grader caught with a gun at school told administrators he brought the weapon to defend himself in case of an attack similar to the mass shooting last week in Newtown, Conn.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports that two classmates at West Kearns Elementary School reported the gun to a teacher toward the end of the school day Monday."

Feeling safe yet?!

oh wait......
"Horsley says school police are investing reports that the boy pointed the gun at another child’s head. He says such accounts haven’t been confirmed."

NOW do you feel safe?

2. When are they going to interview the kid on Fox?

I'm sure Hannity will call him a great American.
