It's too bad you're unwilling to talk publicly about your gun ownership. If all gun owners hid their ownership, I think the anti-gunners would make much greater strides in convincing non-gun owners that there aren't enough of us "good guys" to warrant allowing us to continue owning guns.
To the original poster: The socialization of your children, which is the specialty of public education, requires that as an extention of the "no guns on campus" policy, your children not even play guns on campus.
Which is, of course, a rediculous policy. Generations of kids grew up playing cops and robbers, cowboys and indians, Godzilla vs Tokyo, etc. A few decades ago, schoolkids could bring real guns to school to hunt with on the way home, and during recess play with toy guns or fingers, and never even thought of shooting each other for real.
If you don't let your kids play with toy guns, you'd better not let them play with toy cars lest they think crashing cars into "toy" people and buildings and stuff is OK. Oddly enough, I spent a good part of my childhood crashing toy cars into everything I could find, but haven't re-enacted that with my own cars.
My kids can tell the difference between a real gun and a toy. Sticks and Legos in the shape of a gun are toys and played with. Real guns are not played with. If you're a lousy parent and your children are idiots, then by all means substitute avoidance for education.
Um, I'd better stop before this turns into too much of a flame.
