Just a thought.
If you haven't done so, I'd consider contacting her and thanking her for saying they didn't have to "X" the pictures anymore. She did meet you at least halfway. (Not that she had that much of a choice, I suppose)
1. It makes you appear gracious [in victory.] You are a concerned father, as opposed to a raving gun nut. (More flies with sugar blahblahblah)
2. This lets her know (subtly) that you are checking up on her.

DR, good job. Clearly we're all proud to walk with you about this.
Your story, the way that you interacted with the teacher (with or without a supervisor, and I think the way you did it was fine, given the circumstances) is yet another example of why I have argued for years about the importance of clear, concise, complete articulation of ideas, using correct grammar, punctuation, logic & critical thinking.
I don't know where you gained your mastery of such, but - as a college-level educator who stressed such skills as much at the topics I was teaching (biology & math) - I commend you.
THR rocks. I'm so glad to be part of this forum.

Darth Ruger, congrats on a job well done and I would ram it all the way home by pressing the Principal on the teacher's initial wrong, and the half-right she did to correct it. She strove to indoctrinate children with a rote judgement, then once again utterly fails to teach the very worthwhile lessons of Personal Responsibility, Doing the Right Thing Even When You Think No One Is Watching, AND teaching that what she tried to do to them was WRONG.
And you just know that she's posting on DU or somesuch about "the little Hitler Youth that's spying / reporting on my behaviour in class."
/no insult intended, just mocing her presumptive worldview

the only thing you did wrong
was not inviting her and her "hunter" to the range for some friendly shooting!
Good work, I wish all dads were a good as you.

Avoiding situations like this are another great reason to home school your children.
When I home schooled my youngest daughter (first grade through high school) firearm fundamentals and a couple of trips to the range were included. She didn't develop an interest in shooting, but at least she knows the fundamentals and has experienced shooting first hand.

something to keep in mind
remember she is not just a teacher, she is an individual too.
she might not be anti, she may have been trying to figure out how to satisfy your concerns without having to have a simular confab with the anti parents at alatter date! what i'm saying is she could be between a rock and a hard place and just trying to keep her job, with no real gun agenda of her own, just playing to the largest preceived group.

Can I borrow you to try and talk to my anti-gun parents?
Seriously, good job. I get a warm spot in my heart whenever someone manages to coax a little light out of an Anti.

I'm glad that you stayed calm & dealt with the problem politely. Keeping calm is key.

Unfortunately, the teacher didn't enjoy hearing it.
