Isn't it a federal crime to have a gun on school property? I'm a little surprised that the feds haven't become involved in this situation. In any case, the ideal outcome would be for her case to become the test case that repeals a federal gun law. The federal government has no business setting these kinds of policies for schools. This case should make the state government realize that their law is wrong. The school can do whatever it wants, but a teacher with a gun in her purse should never let that purse out of her grasp. If she's not willing to exercise that degree of control over her gun, she should store it elsewhere while she's in school.

Mary is the poster child of what is wrong with the federal law and state law. Therefore, I expect that the U.S. Attorney will NOT prosecute the case because it could get the federal law overturned. What U.S. Attorney wants to take on a case that he/she is guaranteed to lose?
