Nottingham Elementary student brings BB gun to school (updated)

Published:

Monday, January 25, 2010 4:18 PM CST

Katy Independent School District reported another incident involving a student with gun on campus.

A Nottingham Country Elementary student brought an Airsoft BB gun to school last Tuesday, but administrators were not notified until another student reported the incident late Friday.

"We questioned the student and they did admit to having a BB gun on campus," principal Marlene Bourgeois said in the e-mail sent to parents Saturday.

"We have contacted the student's parents and are dealing with this issue in the proper manner, including appropriate disciplinary action."

Katy ISD Director of Communications Steve Stanford told the Times the incident is a “Level IV offense, which results in an off campus DAEP placement.”

This is the second time this month that a student has brought a weapon on campus. On Jan. 13, a Katy High School student brought a loaded gun to school to show it off to other students during lunch.

Stanford told the Times after the last incident that "a weapon on campus is a Level V offense, which results in removal from campus to a JJAEP program."

The e-mail sent Saturday, in its entirety, reads as follows:

January 23, 2010

Dear Parents:

I would like to bring your attention to an incident that happened earlier this week. A student reported to us late Friday that on Tuesday another student had brought an Airsoft BB gun to school. We questioned the student and they did admit to having a BB gun on campus. We have contacted the student's parents and are dealing with this issue in the proper manner, including appropriate disciplinary action.

Students are often the first line of defense when it comes to keeping our schools safe as they often have first-hand knowledge about what their classmates are doing. I ask that you use this incident as a teachable moment with your child to help confirm with them the important role they play in keeping our school safe. Please remind them that when they learn that a prohibited item is on campus that they should always inform a teacher or principal as soon as possible.

The safety of your child and every other child here at Nottingham Country Elementary is one of our highest priorities. With your help, we will continue our commitment to creating a safe, secure and conducive learning environment for your child.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Marlene Bourgeois

Principal, Nottingham Country Elementary

How do you clean your AirSoft gun?

When you are a gun owner you know that you need to clean your guns after every use, right? Well AirSoft guns are no different. When using AirSoft guns, whether using for target practice, gaming, or fun play, you need to make sure that you tend to it as if it were a real gun. Here are some tips to get this done:

1) Why keep your AirSoft gun clean?

Enhanced performance
Maintain/increase accuracy
Reduced jamming
Faster shooting

2) First thing to do before doing any maintenance on your gun is to remove the power source. You will do one of the following:

Dry shoot to confirm it’s not cocked-spring action guns
Remove battery pack-electric guns, or

Disconnect CO2 tank-pressurized gas guns

There is no excuse to not take a few extra minutes to handle your airsoft gun in a safe manner. Take your time and be safe!

Clean the exterior of the airsoft gun:

Wipe clean with a clean non-abrasive cloth
Use cotton swabs for crevices and hard to reach areas.

Clean the magazine of the airsoft gun:

Remove magazine
Clean the magazine the same as the exterior
All moving parts should have a drop of oil added
Replace magazine

Clean the barrel of the airsoft gun:

Turn of hop up system on gun
Spray a .22 cleaning patch with silicone
With patch on rod, insert in into barrel to clean
Use an in and out motion
Swab barrel 3-4 times
Repeat swabbing procedure with a dry patch
When patches come out clean after dry swabbing, you are finished!

Hint- There are gun-cleaning kits available.

After cleaning your gun, be sure to have a few trial shots before going out on the field to play. After cleaning, your gun may perform better and you don’t want to wait to find out in the field after a few bad shots that you need to adjust your shooting!
