Indiana woman arrested for carry in school

[j706]

Smart woman...real smart. IMO she deserves her felony. I could see if someone happened to forget they were armed...maybe. But to pull a gun and set it on a table during a meeting is plain dumb.

This can't be a secret that doing this is highly illegal...laws of this sort are pretty much ingrained into the American conscience...then to pull it out for no good reason... In that respect, I have no sympathy for this lady.

Now...a convicted felon (I'm assuming that's the way it will end)...a high price to pay for an act of ignorance.

Not sure if she will have a felony in the end.
The article states she will be on probation for 18 months has to attend anger management classes and surrender her gun while on probation and not drink. So what occurs at the end of 18 months? The charges are dropped?

Also she brought the gun to show the school how easy it is to bring a weapon to the school since her son was/is being bullied at the school and she is/was afraid that the bullies will harm her son next time.

Stay Classy, Anderson! Lovely that this happens where I live! This lady is stooooopid with 5 o's. I actually know a teacher that teaches at that school.

Fixed it for you.

... Trahan says the gun was pulling her pants down during the meeting so she took it out and placed on a table.

Wait. She did what?

 

[OakRiver]

If she wanted to make a point she could have brought in a toy gun and did the same thing. This was just a reckless stunt that backfired, as well it should have

Not the newspapers get these things right, but if it was a felony charge wouldn't she have to surrender her guns forever?

Where is the order in that plea deal that she also attend anti-stupid classes.

What part of "shall not be infringed" do you people not understand?

It's a principle, but there is a place in this story where principle clashes with practice.

 

[indiucky]

What if they were not her sweatpants?

(Had a guy tell me that the 17 grams of crack cocaine in his drawers that they were not his underwear). Surely you can see how these wardrobe mistakes happen?

Well it was "crack" cocaine.....

That is the anger management class.

Good point.

Some people shouldn't carry. you know, the types that clean out the clogs on their woodchippers with their hands while it is still running. Or look under the deck of a lawn mower while the blade is running.

I guy I worked with always liked to laugh at the dumb things people do. Used to always say, "yep, you get rid of the dumb ones first."

One snowy morning he told me about how he lost a glove. "My snow blower got clogged up and...". Made me think, well, you don't always get rid of them first.
