This one really wouldn't qualify as a smart one...
VENTURA, Calif. -- A teacher who kept a 40-mm artillery shell on his desk as a paperweight blew off part of his hand when he apparently used the ammunition to try and squash a bug, authorities say.
The 13-cm-long shell exploded Monday while Robert Colla was teaching 25 students at an adult education class.
Part of Colla's right hand was severed and he suffered severe burns and minor shrapnel wounds to his forearms and torso, fire Capt. Tom Weinell said.
No one else was injured.
He was reported in stable condition at a hospital.

I would assume that the shell you have is a Dead round (Powder removed, false primer). I am just currious how and WHY he had a Live round....

small diffrence there, RZ....10mm vs 40mm
All display ammo should be inert, witht hole drilled through the case to show there isn't powder in there, along with an indented, spent primer.
That teacher should be in jail for breaking the Weapon Free School Zone laws. California expelled a first grade student for forming a "gun" with his finger and thumb and pointing at another student. They claimed it showed intent to commit future violent behavior. Columbine still has people on edge 7 years later.

As long as the students don't listen to metal music, play violent video games, or watch t.v. they will not commit future acts of violence! Nevermind the parents role in the childs future!
That teacher def gets the deetadee award!!

I read about this elsewere, guess Lefty here found the shell hunting a few years back and thought it was a dud, so he used it as a paperweight. I'm not too sure which is scarier, the fact he's a teacher, or if him being a hunter was true, that he's also a gun owner:eek:
