    The first one rang a bell for me. In '55 or '56 a kid brought a machine gun that his father had 'souvenired' from his war service to school for show & tell before Anzac Day. Nothing happened. A couple of years later, different school, another kid brought an air pistol to school. Teacher took it into safe custody for the day, but couldn't resist having a couple of shots at a target pinned to the notice board at the back of the class.
