And I imagine its only a Parade weapon? Didn't read story, but after you said a Corps Cadet.....
Glad if it is/was only that, and not another nut shooting up a Campus.

I honestly expect one day we'll walk out of the armory with our Garands to practice armed drill, and some kid will have a panic attack and call the cops to report a bunch of gunman taking over the building...

Wow...... swat and police all converge and the guy has a replica.

My Daughter called me later and called it a "TOY" gun.

A toy gun :rolleyes: We had something similar happen here at UTD about 5 months ago. Some one notified the campus police that a student brought a gun into their classroom, the campus police hurry over to the room only to find it was a replica rifle brought to class by a drama student for his drama class. :headscratch:

A&M is a military school. As it turns out it was one of the guys in the Corp. He was carrying one of the drill rifles.
