Teacher had a gun in his car for a long time, but when school found out, has him arrested. Hmmmm.

Bass ackwards to me.

No guns on campus usually means no guns on campus

If that is the rule, then he should consider himself lucky that he didn't get caught before. Rules are rules, don't want to follow them, don't work there.


The article mentions that he told the students he had the gun to protect them. I am fairly certain that if someone is shooting in the school, a gun in the car isn't much use.

"Students go hide in the closet! There are gunshots popping off down the hallway! Wait here while I go get my pistol out of the faculty parking lot!"

Pretty much.

Gotta play by the rules or you get the consequences.

How does having one gun and a knife equate to an infatuation with guns?

Poor journalism.

Also... A locking knife is illegal? Is it because it was a school campus?

In NC, your vehicle is your personal property, regardless of where it is parked.

Hey everyone, duck and cover until I get back here with the gun I have stashed in my car

no, no, sweet child, of course I'm not going to get in my car and get as far away from the massacre as I can

I don't think his gun was there to protect his students. More than likely it stayed there, in his vehicle, to protect himself if a situation arose in which he could utilize it.

Okay all you rule keeping, no common sense sheep.

If this guy had been working at Newtowne, with a gun in his car, and had the balls, could he have ran to his car and back into the school waaaaaaaay before the cops got there? Could he have saved a few kids from their fate?

His gun being kept in the car is probably the most prudent thing a teacher could do. What would all the well informed posters here say if he had been keeping the gun in the classroom? Guess you guys would have had a snide remark or two for that one also.

We dont need any teachers with loaded guns in their cars.
Today, a decade ago or last year.

Heeeere we go...

Possibly.

Maybe.

Probably.

Now then, could he have missed some shots & killed a few more kids? Could he have seen Chris Manfredonia, thought he was the shooter & killed him?

also 1.4 million guns were stolen through burglary/theft between 2005 and 2010 per the DOJ:

the odds are substantially higher that this guy's gun would have been stolen (probably by a student) than it would have ever helped stop a school shooting.

Corporate policies all the time state that no guns are allowed on person or in vehicles on company property. The fact this is a school makes it interesting as it is public property with special protections (speed limits, etc)
