Should count for cops too....... No guns is no guns period and if cops can anyone else can... period. Gotta love Liberal Tolerance. You will get none from me.
MC season is on and i will open carry for the next 9 months....
My frist question is where is his parents? why didnt mom or dad check in his weapon...does he get to run around willy-nilly without any adult supervision?
How does a minor own a weapon? was it even his or his dad's/mom's?
anywho...he sounds like a good kid...maybe the NRA can give him a scholarship to a military school.
Since you feel you can tell a flat lie about this kid without even trying to find out the truth....
...it's the KID who should be thrown out and charged with a felony?
No, actually I just answered without reading the whole thing. No, he shouldn't be expelled, and I do think it is an injustice. He certainly should have kept quiet, or skipped. That really does suck.
Did you watch the video? The gun was unloaded. When he opened his trunk to get his bookbag, he saw the gun. He called his mom to get permission to leave the school to take the gun out of his car and that is when someone heard him and turned him in. Amazingly, the Assistant Principal of the same school accidently brought a gun in her car to school that she forgot about too. She was suspended for 3 days, not charged with a felony, and didn't get fired from her job.
QUOTE=readyjack;29381803]He brought a gun to school, he did not forget, he thought he wouldn't get caught. You are telling me he doesn't know where his guns are and in what state of readiness at all times? Dangerous. It is a good lesson for him.[/quote]
My initial reaction was me being annoyed because of finals. I wouldn't punish any student so severely it would damage their chances in life. I am usually very lenient on mistakes and I wish i had not jumped the "gun".
A senior at Princeton High School near Raleigh, NC has been permanently expelled from school.
His crime: He went skeet shooting the day before with some friends, safely unloaded and locked up his shotgun in his truck afterward, and then forgot it was there the next day when he drove to school.
Then he made his BIG mistake. Upon remembering the gun was in his (locked) truck, he knew he couldn't legally leave the school to drive it home and come back. So he quietly called his mother and asked her to come and pick it up.
The mistake? His call was overheard by some zero-tolerance fanatic at the school.
Question: Who did the wrong thing? And who broke the law?
BTW, as a result of this incident, this Eagle Scout has also been charged with a felony.
Honors Student & Eagle Scout Charged with Felony and Expelled After Accidentally Leaving Shotgun in Truck
May 1 2013
According to Todd Starnes of Fox News, Cole Withrow, an Eagle Scout, honors student, and active church member has had his life turned upside down.
The trouble began when Withrow discovered he had accidentally left his shotgun in his truck once he arrived at school. He had been skeet shooting with some friends the day before.
Withrow tried to immediately call his mother to come and pick up the firearm, but he was overheard by a school official.
Withrow told officials the truth about what happened. Then he was arrested and immediately and permanently expelled from school.
According to Fox News,
“He didn’t know what to do,” Boykin, whose son is friends with Withrow, told Fox News. “If you jump in the truck and leave, then they get you for skipping school. Once you are there you have to say.
“I think it’s an injustice for this young man,” she added. “He’s a good guy. He’s loved by his classmates and his teachers. You don’t become an Eagle Scout by being a bad seed.”
He broke school policy. We had the same thing at my daughters school a few years ago but he had a box cutter because he helped some one move the day before. He was also a honor student.
