Eagle Scout Facing Expulsion over Gun Charge | FOX News & Commentary: Todd Starnes
So this kid was going to graduate with honors and now he can't. I also find it interesting that the vice principal made the same mistake and was only suspended for three days. I feel there should be a grey area and not so black and white. If the kid had not called his mother to do the right thing school adminstrators would have probably never know the gun was in his car.
PRINCETON, N.C. (WTVD) -- A Johnston County high school student has been expelled for bringing a gun onto school property, but the school's student body is coming to his defense.
David "Cole" Withrow is a senior at Princeton High School. He was set to graduate in just a few weeks, until his arrest Monday for bringing a gun to school.
Cole, who is an Eagle Scout and an honors student, said he forgot to take his gun out of his truck after skeet shooting. When he got to school and realized the gun was in his car, he went into school to call his mom so he could leave and take the gun home.
Some in the community wonder how a senior with just days left of school can be expelled when two years ago, the school's assistant principal accidentally brought a loaded gun to school in her car and was only suspended for three days.

.Withrow had spent the weekend camping with a group of his friends, including Boykins son. The boys went fishing for catfish on Saturday and skeet shooting on Sunday.
He realized he had left his shotgun in his truck on Monday morning as he reached to grab his book bag, said Boykin.
He didnt know what to do, she told Fox News. If you jump in the truck and leave, then they get you for skipping school. Once you are there you have to say.
So the teenager, who did his senior class project on gun safety, locked his truck, walked to the front office and called his mother. Thats when the trouble started
