None of it means anything. That includes all the supposed signs that are dug up after every mass shooting. In principle this shouldn't have happened.

Practically, it might be unfair to paint the Principal as a bigot when they are the ones responsible for the school.

People can either choose to keep their public and private life separate, or blend them and live with the consequences. There's no reason to let the same group you were feuding with at the PTA (or O) know that you carry a gun by saying so on a social network they all belong to. And having done so and it leading to a showdown with the Principle, you can either take steps to diffuse the situation that you had a role in, or leave.

I post (quasi)anonymously because I don't want to have a Dick Metcalf result for the personal opinions I have about guns, laws, child rearing or giant robots.
