There we go, awesome.
So what would happen to this guy, given he's a fit for § 1280.1 C:3 ?
After reading the second article, I have even less sympathy for the guy. He forgot he had it in his pocket when he went to school, then didn't realize it fell out of his pocket while he was there. Unreal.
Jail time? Probably not, in my book. His permit is already expired, so it's not like they can pull it. Hefty fine, and a bar on getting a permit for a year or so.

We all worked as armed security at the FAA. OkTribalCop does both security and tribal police. The guy in the story stopped doing security probably around 2008ish. I doubt he kept his CE up and renewed his CLEET license. When he left our job, he went to a different line of work. If he did keep it, I still don't think it would help for 1280.1 C:3.
Assuming a valid license, that's a good question for good lawyers, if we have any around. It's odd that the police mention his expired CCW but not his CLEET AS.
The guy needs to be disciplined, but I feel that 366 days in jail is just a bit too far. I'm not sure what I would recommend if it were up to me. Probably stocks or a pillory.
+1 Well said. There are already far too many people trying to disarm citizens without peers kicking him.
I like the stocks idea. Especially for someone with his (alleged) reputation. Public humiliation sometimes works wonders providing there is any measurable levels of intelligence.
He didn't make a mistake, he made a series of concious decisions that aren't consistent with the mantra we all like to chant to ourselves...that most gun owners are conscientious and law abiding.
1)He left a gun in his pocket when he left his home, without a valid permit to carry.
2)He drove to a school
3)He went into a school
4)He carried in such a fashion that his gun was able to fall out of his pocket onto a chair.
The reason this is an issue is because one individual acted irresponsibly. He deserves every lump that's coming....including those from his peers. We have to be our own harshest critics.

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking. I'm sick of our society's insistence upon calling bad choices "mistakes" - there is a considerable difference between the two. Now we all look a little dumber because of his poor decisions...
