What's 74, has two legs and two arms and one handgun, and works as a substitute teacher in Alabama?
If you answered "Henry Rex Weaver," you win! You must watch WBRC-TV, or read The Cullman Times, because they are reporting on a little fracas involving old Henry Rex last week.
Seems this "good guy with a gun" was, against all logic and sense, employed as a substitute teacher in a first-grade classroom at Blountsville Elementary School on Friday. Weaver is 74, for crying out loud, hardly up to the pace of a room full of 6-year-olds.
But no one knew he had the old persuader - the peacemaker - the gat, the bulky, the deuce-deuce, the rooty tooty point and shooty, the roscoe, in his pants.
This superannuated fool (above) carried a gun in his pocket as he substituted for the regular teacher, and the gun went off, slightly injuring one child.
Blount County Sheriff Mark Moon says Weaver, of Blountsville, was taken off campus and into custody. Weaver was taken to the Blount County Jail and has been charged with possession of a deadly weapon on school grounds, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment.
"(The sound) alerted administrators,’’ Moon said. “He was detained until we could get him in our jail.”
In 2016, a former teacher at that same school, Bobbie Holaway, 60, was charged with shooting her husband to death.
Yeah buddy, arming teachers sounds like a mighty fine idea. It's been especially helpful in Blountsville, Alabama.
Hire people who don't tote around a shootin' iron? Metal detectors in the faculty lounge? A quick pat-down for all staff before the first bell?
Bueller? Bueller?
