    Smith & Wesson M&P backpack for school?

    I picked up my nephew this morning to do some school shopping and we end up at academy looking for backpacks. He initially wants an Under Armour but we venture over to the hunting/shooting area and he finds the pack pictured below. I say sure and buy it. After walking out I started wondering if he'll have issues wearing it to school because of the maker. My wife says she wouldn't have bought it. If he was my kid I would let him wear it and deal with any blowback myself but he's not mine. He's 11...I think....so he's getting to the age where the school might say something. Anyone know if he'll have an issue?

      In 99% of schools he will probably be sent home. Sad state but thats the way things are now days.

        Why even risk it?

          I would send him to school and not worry about it.

            With all the bad situations in the last year with schools I think i would pass on taking that to school. Might be picking a fight that can just be avoided. I am with you but not sure what you have to gain. Keep it and use it for other stuff, hunting backpack, sleep over, camping, sports, etc. Just my .02.

              if he likes the pack then let him use it, the only suggestion I would make is get an American or Texas flag patch and have it sewn over the M&P part

                    Unless the school has specific rules about not having any gun company names, then I can’t see an issue. I can assure you it wouldn’t be an issue at our local school district....not a small school district either. It’s all about not having a bunch of idiots running the place. Therein lies the problem in many places.[emoji53]

                      I would say "hell yeah you can take it to school, and let those sonsabitches call me if they don't like it! I'll tell them exactly what I think about their opinion....**** commie socialists"...then my wife would put his hunting stuff in it and hang it in the closet and send him to school with the Under Armour one and I'd forget about it until next time we went hunting.

                        What’s the difference in wearing... say a browning tshirt, camo shirt, or something similar.
                        Or does the school have uniforms...

                          It's been quite a while since I was in school and there have been way more school shootings since then so I wouldn't be surprised if someone said something.

                          I remember a teacher from up North coming down here to teach and she saw a gun I drew in class one day. She told the principal. He never said anything about it to me so it all worked out. Nobody blew anything out of proportion and I didn't go on to kill any of my classmates. But there is and always will be people that take things to the next level and make a big stink over something harmless when they really should just mind their own business. I'd send him on to school and if someone says something so be it. He didn't bring a gun to school or threaten anyone so what are they gonna do? Tell him to get a different backpack maybe.

                              My 10 year old takes a 5.11 12 hour backpack to school with no issues.
