Lifetime LTCH Holder Arrested After Misplacing Gun in School

Would you be OK with it if he was charged with a misdemeanor?

Misdemeanor for what?

Misdemeanor for what?

Just checking. It's not the fact that it's a felony. It's the fact that he was charged at all...correct?

Exactly why I do not agree with what this guy did, but feel that it does NOT bear a felony. Agree?

OR do you think it is OK to charge people for crimes because you do not like how they store their firearms?

I'd first argue he didn't "store" it....he abandoned it. Admittedly he forgot where it was. Rationally speaking, I don't care where you store your arms in your own home or vehicle, but if you are storing them in publicly owned buildings...then yes....he should be charged.

I left my keys in my truck, it is a very big truck and very dangerous in the wrong hands. Oh, and I have been drinking adult beverages, but I am scared to get my keys out of the truck for fear of being charged with DUI

Really Bunny?? Apparently you are not one for a rational conversation.
Your analogy is severely lacking in this discussion...come up with something that pertains to the subject.

Wow and this guy was teaching our children. No wonder we are lagging a good portion of the civilized world in basic math and reading skills.

I really can't think of anything I would be OK with charging this guy with. Perhaps branding him with "DUMBASS," but not a crime.

Any suggestions?

Charged with what? The "crime" he is charged with is possession on school property correct? Are you OK with that? To charge someone with a crime for having a tool on government property?

People are always quick to want to charge others with crimes for things they do not like. If there is no victim, why is there a crime?

I doubt he forgot where it was really. When I read the story I figured he probably forgot to grab it before he left the day he resigned and had yet to figure out how to get back into the classroom,and into the ceiling tiles, without having to admit he brought his gun to class. Probably waiting every day to hear he's busted.

Many years ago the shop teacher at our local high school had a heart attack in class. An ambulance was called and he was taken to the hospital, where a small revolver fell out of his pocket onto the gurney.
"Officials" at the school searched his office and found another pistol locked in his desk. He was given the opportunity to retire and faced some legal problems. I think the only thing that really kept him out of jail was the fact that he was a part time LEO.
I don't blame him. He is a great guy. He taught some classes when I was in school and I always liked him and his style.

Im sure if you thought long enough you could figure out a way to try and make money off it
