A student brings a weapon to school. They may not necessarily use it against anybody, but even then you can expect somebody's parents to panic about what could have happened. This plot will rarely last longer than a single Very Special Episode and can focus on the incident, the following consequences, or a mix of each. Outside of characters designed to be antagonists, the person who brings the weapon is rarely a member of the core cast, since that would force the writers to either justify it in the audience's mind and/or come up with some way for them to get off scot-free. Unnamed background characters who attempt this are fair game for being caught and sent off to juvie, though. If they are a main character, expect for them to be gone from the show for a long time. Unfortunately, this often tends to be Truth in Television, as school shooting tragedies such as Columbine have proven — otherwise, schools wouldn't have metal detectors and X-ray scanners, and teachers wouldn't be issued Kevlar vests and, in some US states, allowed to bring guns of their own. Of course, the real life portion of this is Older Than They Think; the Columbine incident in 1999 was simply one of a handful of shootings that earned national attention. In his book Brain Droppings, George Carlin refers to schoolyard deaths back in his childhood. See Also: Guns in Church, School Is Murder. Compare Going Postal. Like Ax-Crazy, this doesn't necessarily involve an axe, it could be a gun or a knife, or hell, even more exotic weapons such as a chainsaw. Common target of the Spree Killer. |

The Simpsons: Played for Laughs when Principal Skinner says on the morning announcements "I trust you all remembered to bring in your implements of destruction." Every child in the class reaches into their desks and pulls out axes, hammers, baseball bats, and so on; Bart has a BFG and is dressed like Rambo, and Nelson has a flamethrower. Skinner then gives the order to "Trash this dump!" Cut to all the children cheerfully destroying the school. It was All Just a Dream for Bart, a very happy dream. When Bart is sent to a military boarding school, the first thing he's given at a firing range is a grenade launcher. When Bart is made Hall Monitor, Skinner rewards him with an item of his choice from the seized property locker. Apparently, at some point, someone had brought a crossbow into Springfield Elementary. |

Parodied in Nichijou by Misato, the "gundere" who yanks military-grade firearms out of nowhere whenever she gets angry, i.e. at least once per appearance. Usually, she fires them at a certain classmate, who she has a crush on. No one reacts to the sight of such weapons and anyone hit by them receives Amusing Injuries, at worst, so whether they're real or all in her head isn't entirely clear. | |

The Outer Limits (1995): In the episode "Abduction", five high school kids are abducted by an alien. They eventually find out that the alien chose them because one of them brought a gun to school and was planning to shoot the other four. Exaggerated in "Final Exam"; the antagonist brought a nuclear bomb to school. |

A number of Harry Potter fanfics posit that every single student and teacher at any magic school is actually armed due their magic wands. Considering that, with proper training, a wand can cause small explosions, cut and bludgeon things and people, and even make them drop dead and aside for the illegal Killing Curse they're actually taught those at school, they may have a point. | |

A rare non-student example occurs in the very first episode of Boston Public, when teacher Harry Senate arrives in class openly carrying a handgun, and even fires it off at a wall, all to try and bring his extremely rowdy class in line. To say that everyone is freaked out is an understatement, with the parents and Principal Harper absolutely (and understandably) enraged by his actions, leading to Harry almost losing his job. The incident even gets humorously referenced by the students during their charity show, which features a student dressed as Harry shooting someone in the head. | |

The eponymous Assassination Classroom students use guns and knives on a daily basis to kill their teacher. The weapons used are harmless to humans, and the teacher is a Super-Speed creature who intends to blow up the Earth a year after making the Moon a permanent crescent. As this teacher's only class is located in a satellite building very isolated from the rest of the school (and whose students stay in that campus region during the school day), it's entirely reasonable that only those students, the principal, and the specific teachers using that building know the weapons exist. | |

In Armed Girl's Machiavellism: The Private Aiichi Symbiosis Academy allows its female students to carry blunt weapons (most have folding sticks, but the assistants to the Five Supreme Swords are more varied), and the Five Supreme Swords carry actual swords. This is the result of the school being originally reserved for girls, and when it became co-ed the female students were so scared of what they expected the boys to do them they demanded, and obtained, to carry weapons for defense and the student council turning into a vigilante group for the more extreme cases, and by the time of the series there's exactly one girl, Kirukiru Amou, who doesn't carry a weapon... Because her hands are more than enough. At Hokkai, Aiichi's twin school, everyone carries weapons. It doesn't do them any good when Amou is transferred there while the Six King Swords are away. |

In The Breakfast Club, Brian is in detention for bringing a gun to school, presumably to kill himself because he didn't want to face his parents' reactions to him failing shop class. The school found out he'd brought it when it went off in his locker. However, it was a flare gun, not an actual gun, which is part of the reason it went off prematurely. Brian is in detention not because of what he brought, but because the gun damaged the school's lockers when it went off. | |

In the Discworld, The Assassins' Guild School subverts this trope somewhat, in that pupils are actually expected to bring weapons to school. It is mandatory, given what the school teaches. The Approved Equipment List issued to parents right at the start stipulates what is needed. However, fearsome rules govern who can carry what according to age and status, and pupils are expected to keep their hardware safely locked up outside lessons. In certain extraordinary circumstances, a pupil might be permitted to carry an otherwise unapproved weapon; it is accepted that Dwarf pupils may carry an axe for Cultural reasons. | |

A Static Shock episode had a kid not only bring a gun to school but accidentally shoot the main character's best friend, Richie, in the leg after he gets tackled by the bullies he wanted to shoot. It's fairly Anvilicious in that Richie then yells about how painful it is and that it's not cool or fun like it seems on TV. Although it's fair to say that getting shot is pretty painful and considerably uncool. | |

Higurashi: When They Cry: In the Tsumigoroshi/Atonement arc, Ryuugu Rena brings a large billhook to school and rigs up an improvised explosive device for the purpose of holding the entire student body hostage. She did this to force the cooperation of the police because they weren't taking her seriously when she tried telling them about an alien conspiracy to massacre the entire town. Seeing as up to that point the school had always been a safe haven from the gruesome events of the series, this is particularly shocking. Throughout the series, Mion carries her gun to school and it isn't questioned at all. Turns out it's just an airsoft pistol. Would you question her anyway? Subverted during the first arc, where Keiichi looks for a weapon he can carry around school without raising questions. He settles on a baseball bat. |

Persona: Masao "Mark" Inaba actually brought an axe at school. It's not clear why Mark has an axe with him, but it's implied that he breaks into boarded-up buildings for his graffiti art. Former delinquent Yukino Mayuzumi is carrying around razors as an improvised weapon. Tamaki Uchida brought her old rapier at school which she gives to the protagonist. It's not clear why she brought an actual weapon either, but her previous adventure probably made her paranoid. |

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu has Sousuke engage in this a lot as a source of humor, much like he does in the original series. In the final episode, S�suke orders a biowarfare agent from a military company and they send it to the school instead of his home address (to his credit, S�suke isn't happy and calls to complain). Then one of his classmates opens the thermos, exposing the entire school. Thankfully, after all the "We're gonna die!" drama, it turns out that the agent just dissolves synthetic clothing, but that's still not enough to spare S�suke from his classmates' wrath. | |

In Aphorism, which takes place in a high school, most of the cast has some form of weapon...that they use to fight against the various monstrous things trying to kill them during the "God's Blight"s. The weapons are stored as characters somewhere on their bodies when not in use. For example: Hirasawa Aira has a katana. Chisato has two. Tatsumi dual-wields halberds. Hokuto has a huge spear, complementing his twin, Nanto's, shield. Noa uses a bow. Rokudou uses swords, either a BFS (as Inner!Rokudou) or two longsword-like objects. |

The second, more bigger incident, is the Valentine's Day Massacre. After one slight too many, Christine Chandler goes on a mass murder spree, shooting 21 people dead (including Shonda Rhimes) before turning the gun upon themselves. The Valentine's Day Massacre results in huge ramifications within society, leading to Jack Thompson getting his foot in the door against violent video games and prejudice being directed against autistic (and eventually transgender as well) people. | |

Another usage of this trope, more along the lines of Very Special Episode, was when Simon discovered that one of his classmates planned on bringing a gun to school. The friend later claimed that he was kidding, but Simon nonetheless wrote a paper on the event, which he recited to the class, while at the same time said classmate opened his locker in front of a large number of people, including Simon's parents, revealing that he had, indeed, brought a gun into the school. | |

Happens on Smallville, where Lana tries to kill Chloe with an axe (and actually doesn't completely escape punishment, since the brawl got both of them suspended — she is under mind control, though). Also the Trope Namer. Of course, while going crazy and attempting to kill classmates is a big thing in most schools, for Smallville High it's... Tuesday. And in fairness, she didn't bring it to school; they crashed into an "in case of fire" box in the struggle and she just started using the fire axe from there. | |

The Key to a Successful Interview: Early on in the story, a news report mentions that a JSDF base was broken in and an A-10 "Thunderbolt II" (a plane normally used for tank-hunting) was stolen. Turns out, it was stolen by Shampoo, who took the fighter's 30mm cannon and uses it later to demolish Furinkan High with gunfire (the cafeteria because that's where her target was, the rest of the building because she literally thought "what the hell"), trying to kill Akane and giving absolutely zero shits about any people caught in the crossfire (although, miraculously, there were no fatalities). Later on the story, she becomes part of Ranma's group saying that Defeat Means Friendship, but considering that she pulled off one of the most devastating In-Universe school shootings in Japanese history and is running around free and unpunished by the law, it's quite understandable that all other characters remain quite wary of her. | |

Our Miss Brooks: An unusual example from "Swap Week". The high school students are bartering a wide variety of odds and ends, encouraged by a new student named Larry Clayson. At one point, the principal, Mr. Conklin, traded for a shotgun and is practicing aiming it when Harriet (Mr. Conklin's daughter) walks into the room. She jokes "Oh, you got me!". Later, Mr. Conklin trades the shotgun to Walter Denton for a partial interest in his jalopy. Walter is seen carrying the gun across the Cafeteria. The episode first aired December 11, 1953, and is now a glaring example of Values Dissonance. | |

Though guns are inaccessible to them as to most of the world, their armaments included swords, spiked knuckle dusters, and a crossbow. Considering the world-wide frequency of devil attacks, this is depressingly necessary. | |

Kill Me Baby: Sonya regularly brings knives to school, and sometimes uses them on Yasuna. It's justified since she's an assassin and needs to have her weapons ready at all times in case she needs to kill someone, or a rival assassin targets her while she's attending school. Agiri brings shurikens to school, as well as other gadgets like a bomb disguised as a fake hand. She casually mentions to Yasuna that she also has weapons like machine guns and rocket launchers in her arsenal. Yasuna brings a water pistol to school in one skit, and nunchucks in another. |

Persona: Persona: Masao "Mark" Inaba actually brought an axe at school. It's not clear why Mark has an axe with him, but it's implied that he breaks into boarded-up buildings for his graffiti art. Former delinquent Yukino Mayuzumi is carrying around razors as an improvised weapon. Tamaki Uchida brought her old rapier at school which she gives to the protagonist. It's not clear why she brought an actual weapon either, but her previous adventure probably made her paranoid. Persona 2: The party does go to school with weapons in hand, but's that's not actually a habit for them; they are looking for members of the Masked Circle who happen to be at school. Persona 4: The characters are hiding weapons under their clothes during school so they can head straight to the TV World afterwards without having to go home and pick them up. Subverted in Persona 5.

A literal example occurs in the Hetalia: Axis Powers fan fiction Outcast. Administrators of the St. Hetalia Academy for Boys actually allow student Denmark to bring his giant heirloom battleaxe to school — provided it's securely bolted to the wall of his dorm room and only ever used as a decoration. Of course, those precautions mean nothing when Denmark flies into a berserker rage and rips the bolts out of the wall when he tries to kill Sweden. | |

Player Two Start has two major incidents revolving around gun violence at school: The first is, of course, Columbine. However, with Polly Klaas's survival, she encourages Dylan Klebold to refuse to participate. Eric Harris attempts it alone, and fails miserably: he only manages to kill his ex Caitlyn before shooting himself. The second, more bigger incident, is the Valentine's Day Massacre. After one slight too many, Christine Chandler goes on a mass murder spree, shooting 21 people dead (including Shonda Rhimes) before turning the gun upon themselves. The Valentine's Day Massacre results in huge ramifications within society, leading to Jack Thompson getting his foot in the door against violent video games and prejudice being directed against autistic (and eventually transgender as well) people. |

In the 2000s Spider-Man arc "Skin Deep", we see an incident from Peter's schooldays where a kid who got picked on even worse than him brought a knife to school for self-defence. When a teacher found it, Peter took the heat for him, claiming that it was his uncle's knife and he wanted to sharpen it in shop class as a "surprise". The present-day Peter, narrating, notes that the only reason he wasn't expelled was that the idea of a giant nerd like him wanting to knife someone was unbelievable. | |

Duck The Carbine High Massacre was the Exploitation Film version, released just six months after the massacre. Notably, the filmmakers were involved in a real-life version of this trope, having brought real guns onto a high school campus in order to shoot their movie — which got them arrested, a fact that they proudly boasted about on the film's poster ("the controversial film that landed its filmmakers in jail!"). | |

7th Heaven: In a benign version of this trope, the episode See You in September has Simon getting suspended from school for one day because his mother packed a knife with his lunch so that he could cut his chicken. Another usage of this trope, more along the lines of Very Special Episode, was when Simon discovered that one of his classmates planned on bringing a gun to school. The friend later claimed that he was kidding, but Simon nonetheless wrote a paper on the event, which he recited to the class, while at the same time said classmate opened his locker in front of a large number of people, including Simon's parents, revealing that he had, indeed, brought a gun into the school. |

The Wire has a dramatic moment in Mr. Pryzbylewski's middle school classroom when a disturbed girl, fed up with teasing, abruptly stands up, whips out a box cutter, and cuts two deep slashes into another girl's face. What really bothers Mr. Pryzbylewski is that after the heat of the moment, none of his other inner-city students seems to be at all traumatized. In fact, it's routine for them to bring weapons to school, although they generally conceal them somewhere outside rather than smuggle them into the building. | |

In the episode of My Life as a Teenage Robot about Jenny going to school for the first time, she opens herself up to show the many different devices inside of her and the principal points out she could get in trouble for bringing weapons to school. Brad convinces him to let it go on the condition that Jenny keeps them all disabled when she's on school grounds. Despite this, plenty of other episodes have her drawing weapons in school without consequence. | |

In Spellbinder (1996), Randy, Blaise's Psycho Ex-Boyfriend from her previous school, turns up to Lake Mead High's Homecoming Dance armed with a straight razor. He cuts himself on the cheeks and threatens people with it, slashing one boy on the arm when he tries to talk him down. Eric and some teachers are able to tackle and disarm Randy (with some help from Thea using mild mind control on him) before anyone is seriously hurt, though it understandably causes the dance to end early. | |

The Faculty has Zeke pulling a gun on the principal, who he and his friends suspect to be controlled by the alien Puppeteer Parasite, in the gym and forcing her to snort his homemade drug (which dehydrates and kills the parasites) or else he'll shoot her. She refuses and threatens to have him expelled, which is not the wisest thing to say to somebody who is holding a gun to your head. That said, she was possessed, which lets her get right back up until the other protagonists dump a ton of Zeke's powdered drug all over her face, killing her for good. One of the rare instances where the kid with the gun is portrayed as the unambiguous hero, and a clear sign that the film was released four months before Columbine. | |

The 4400: In "Suffer the Children", Heather Tobey, a teacher at Van Buren Junior High School who disappeared in 1974, has the ability to unlock the artistic potential in her students. Her attempts to bring out the talents of Greg Venner, a boy with low self-esteem due to his bullying father Frank, are unsuccessful. Greg then takes a gun to school and tries to force Heather to use her ability on him so that he will not become a failure like his father. However, she is once again unable to do so since he does not have any hidden artistic or musical talent. Frank manages to talk Greg out of using the gun. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In "Earshot", when Buffy gained the ability to read thoughts and discovered that someone was planning to kill everyone in the school. Cue Jonathan who is up on the abandoned clocktower putting together a high powered rifle to shoot himself with. Buffy stops him and he goes into therapy (whether he gets better is a matter of opinion, although he stops being suicidal). It turns out the would-be mass murderer is the Evil Lunch Lady who is planning to poison the jelly. Inverted in the first 3 seasons; school (the library, to be exact) was where most of Giles' weapons were kept. And there was even a fire axe in one of the hallways, which Buffy used a couple of times against monsters. |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Mana Tatsumiya is frequently seen with a gun of some sort in class, at least in the anime. It's never treated as odd and all she ever does with it is sit cleaning it or occasionally aim it at people to scare them. It's unlikely she actually brings ammo to class since you'd not want to try to clean a loaded gun. In the manga, she hides the guns better, although Setsuna carries a sword around literally all the time. Justified as both Mana and Setsuna are on the school's payroll, protecting it from malignant magical entities. Setsuna hides hers in a long bag, so most people just assumes she has a shinai or bokut� used for Kendo practice. Mana, on the other hand, is on the Biathlon Club, so most people assume that the one visible gun is the airsoft rifle she uses there... And it's actually true, most of the time. |

Rainer, in fact, first dies when he stops talking with a monologue-length bomb. It's explored more in the forum RP, where the general rule is "Please at least CHALLENGE the guy first!" | |

Zero Day is a found-footage take on the shooting, inspired by the video diaries that the Columbine killers kept. | |

In Katawa Shoujo, Shizune's father Jigoro carries his katana everywhere he goes - which includes his daughter's school. Downplayed, in that nobody seems to mind and it might just be a result of not having a separate, katana-less sprite. | |

Hiruma from Eyeshield 21 regularly brings guns to school, and gets away with it because he has dirt on the principal (and probably half of Japan, by the look of things). | |

Full Metal Panic!: A large amount of the comedy in the series is derived from S�suke's possession and use of weapons in inappropriate situations due to his military background and paranoia. Since he's a bodyguard for someone who actually does have people trying to kill or capture her, and is undercover as a high school student, this naturally occurs a lot at the school itself. What is more funny (or disturbing) is that the few times someone (especially Kaname) has brought to attention the fact he's bringing military-grade firepower to a Japanese school (which makes it illegal twice or even thrice over) nobody else gives a damn and even take Sagara's explanations (yes, he destroyed school property, but he had to be sure that there was no way some kind of assassination method could happen) at face value (it is heavily implied that MITHRIL is bribing the hell out of the school, however). S�suke tries to bring his automatic sidearm to school on the first day, in public, without any attempt to hide it at all. The teacher doing the bag check assumes it's a model, confiscating the thing and letting him off with a stern warning. He also has no problem dealing with some tampering with his shoe locker (that turned out to be a girl putting a typical "I love you, sempai!" kind of letter inside) by blowing up the whole damn shoe locker row with C-4 (he thought that the tamperer had left a booby-trap bomb behind, you see). He "meets" the girl afterwards by staking out the meeting point with a sniper rifle. |

Yuno Gasai, of Future Diary, has no problem carrying a multitude of weapons with her wherever she goes, including knives, boxcutters, axes, needles...basically anything sharp she can carry around with her. You would not believe the body count she's accumulated over the course of the series. Keep in mind that she's a middle-school-age girl doing it all out of love. | |

Happy Heroes: Deconstructed in Season 5 episode 22, where Careless S. uses his weapons in Superstar School. While it's true that he uses them to fight villains, Careless S., being... well, careless, often ends up destroying parts of the school building by accident in using his guns and whatnot. Headmaster Tele acts accordingly and confiscates Careless S.'s weapons... not that it stops Careless from hiding weapons throughout the school. | |

In one of the Alex Rider books, the Teen Superspy protagonist has one of his gadgets — an explosive device disguised as a pen — left over after one of his missions and decides to take it to school with him, mostly because he figures his Secret-Keeper best friend will get a kick out of seeing it, but he also semi-jokingly considers setting it off outside the teacher's lounge. It turns out to be an important Chekhov's Gun when he's kidnapped by the Big Bad before he can get to school. | |

All For Luz: On the 3rd day of the Mass Super-Empowering Event, a boy with a Quirk to continuously gain kinetic energy blew up his whole high school out of the ground in an unprovoked attack. The explosion killed 100s of people in the process and he was gunned down by the police for this. | |
