So David Barnard and Karen Sain think Buddy Armor brings a gun to every meeting.
They tell the Sheriff.
Sheriff searches Buddy and his car.
Finds nothing.

When is the book burning?
I believe it was Buddy Armor who spoke up warning the school board that banning books can lead to a lot of exposure. His words are starting to ring true.
The article, Student, parents defend book, mentions the National Coalition against Censorship taking notice.
"The National Coalition against Censorship is forming a response to the school board with those sentiments.
Rebecca Zeidel, coalition coordinator, said it is the first amendment right of parents to choose what their children reads, but it is not their right to dictate what other children read."
Next, a letter to the editor is in the paper. Book broadens minds, speaks up in favor of "The Kite Runner". The letter was written by Dr. Ita Killbride, a professor of Education at Lees-McRae College.
We also have two students writing letters in favor of academic freedom. Dana Middleton wrote Can't Shield Students and Tori Thomas wrote Student Defends Book.
Finally we have Larry Smith telling everyone one it is just Sour Grapes He writes, "We have a few people complaining about so-called problems in the school system". We actually have someone from the National Coalition Against Censorship, a college professor, and two high school students.
He then writes, "I remember the past board doing things that people didn't like, but they didn't holler sour grapes like is being screamed now." Yes they did and they did it very well. So well that they got themselves elected to the school board. And I am pretty sure this is not your first letter to the editor (back me up in the comments).
He ends the letter with, "By the way, I didn't get a job I applied for the other day and my wife is still ticked off." It is funny how the letters by students were more professional and better written than Larry Smith's.
I hope to get more students involved, I will need your help on my next post.
