[QUOTE="ripnbst, post: 2184947, member: 16136"] The reason he contacted everyone and their brother first is so that in the event of a "man in the school with a gun" call he wouldn't end up dead. Which apparently didn't even happen. I don't think his experiment was flawed or bad at all. I applaud the man. He proved his point very well. Kids don't throw themselves into a panic if they see a gun, most are probably too distracted by friends and getting to their next class to notice it anyway. The teachers didn't seem to throw a fit either however I think a good point was made above. Teachers generally stay in their class rooms during the day and are not typically wandering the halls. They may step to their door and observe the hall between classes but it's unlikely. They are more likely to be answering questions, or just chit chatting with students, or clearing the black/white board and preparing for the next class. What I do question is how he was able to carry legally there. Why didn't the police say when he called them "Sir, if you do that you will be arrested on sight."? I'd wager that a majority here active on the board are legally able to carry, but schools are still off limits and "gun free zones" regardless of CCW permit. What I fear from this video is others will try to do it and attempt the same "demonstration" without knowing their local laws and they'll be thrown in the slammer for doing so. Hopefully they make the same courtesy calls this fella did and when he makes the call the LEO will say what I mentioned above and explain that their local laws differ. [/QUOTE]
