Gun found at Moore school belongs to teacher’s relative

[jstaylor62]

He was very fortunate that it just slipped out of his pocket and onto the chair. Imagine the situation if it had dropped onto the floor and had an accidental discharge.

But seriously, how do you not realize that your gun is no longer in your pocket?

 

[Old Fart]

I wonder what kind of gun it was?

Sure. Why not? As if any of your piss ant, myopic opinions matter to me. I have transcended your mode of thought and exist on a higher plane of enlightenment.

You are the amorphous blobular embodiment of arahantship.

Police say the gun was a loaded .380 caliber Smith & Wesson.

While I understand that you need to take responsibility for your actions, and all, I find the animosity and self-righteous indignation people are spewing here to be a little much. How bout some compassion for a guy who made a pretty human mistake and it's now going to cost him?

I think the compassion should be shown to his wife.... She is probably gonna need her cookie dusted while he is in jail. Won't somebody please volunteer to dust this poor woman's cookie while her husband is away!!!!

Now a days, that seems what teenage boys are for...

It will be interesting to see how far the DA wishes to take this. Will probably be a plea deal of some kind.

This is why I don't carry pea shooters. If my gun is off of me, I know it. If you are going to carry where it's illegal, then you should be prepared to face the consequences. There is no way even a little .380 bodyguard is small enough that you don't realize you have it on you, especially since you have to sit down to drive.

Compassion for someone who either didn't know that you're not allowed to carry on school property or knew and ignored the law? Nope.

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty.

It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws.

He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression.

This quote by Thomas Paine is something I wish more of us would take to heart,,,
Yes the man was stupid in that he should not have broken the law by carrying in a school in the first place,,,
But some of the vitriolic statements I've read here are so over the top I almost want to be there when you become an "accidental felon".

Fine him heavily and revoke the man's carry permit forever,,,
Nobody was hurt so no jail should be involved.
