jaredwiman, bringing a knife to school (whether it's found or not) can get you branded as a felon before you ever turn 18. Probably not smart to advertise that you like to break the law.
Ah, pardon. Just looked up info - Taking a knife to college may not be considered the same felony that taking a knife to high-school would be. You'd have to contact Southeastern Illinois College directly to find that out... But, being 26, it would stay on your record permanently if it was considered a felony.
