It seems clear, via Heller and McDonald, that self defense is a lawful purpose. I hope that there is a judge in the case who has some integrity.
We have to keep those children in defenseless victim zones. We cannot allow them to be protected like David Gregory’s children.
Good luck with that. Nowadays that is like finding a chicken with a full set of teeth.
The the HELL does that have to do with the story? Apart from implying that it's a good thing he was caught, otherwise...........
“King merely had the gun with him when a school employee noticed and reported it.”
Concealed means concealed!
Make sure you’re aware of your clothing and that your weapon remains concealed through a range of motion.
We can hope for a good legal remedy, but you don’t want to put yourself through that process.
If it was concealed, how did they know he had it?
A school employee noticed and reported it.
What is the responsibility of the permit holder to keep it concealed? I think it may vary by state.
Now this doctor will have to face having a criminal record. Ridiculous law.
The Prosecuting Attorney in my town has the following interpretation: Concealed means totally concealed. If a legally concealed carry holder is spotted with a gun on him, it is “brandishing” a firearm and the holder will be arrested and prosecuted. That means even a “flash” (as some people here have stated) will make you subject to arrest. I am not saying this is correct, but I don’t have the money to challenge it.
population in this town is about 1,000...there is NO jobs, everyone either on welfare or retired!! part time Judges in community. and the main store is ‘DOLLAR GENERAL’ town depends on tourism.
left there 60 years ago..thank goodness.
We regular citizens need to have an armed march on a school with guns, to show that we are not going to let these Lanza types shoot up our kids anymore. REGARDLESS of unconstitutional “gun free” zone laws. We need to stand up to this tyranny. What are they going to do, arrest us all? When will we ever fight back?
I'm sick of what the kids are taught, sick of how they are treated, and sick of the lousy results for my tax money.
Otherwise, get used to having your child suspended when he holds his finger up like a gun and tells you there is no God. You allowed it to happen. IT WILL NOT GET BETTER. We would have waited her whole school period for things to get better, but they got worse in the school every year. Save your children and home school.
In my opinion, it's America's only hope. People with common sense are outnumbered right now 100 to 1. When they get through with your child, THEY WILL, think you are crazy, think you destroyed the planet, think you are the problem for every argument. Wait till they tell you your truck is destroying the planet, or better yet, take up the guns to stop the killing.
He may be in good shape IF the court follows the PA Constitution:
The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.
I did like the last line of the story. :^)
“He’s charged with possessing a weapon on school property, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum five-year prison term.”
It sounds like they don’t know what the word ‘misdemeanor’ means.
