Olympia-Area Teacher Brings Gun, Bullets To School
http://www.kirotv.com/news/9936620/detail.html

Clearly she violated the law by bringing a gun to school. We don't yet know whether she had a Concealed Pistol License, but it would not matter if she did. State law only permits CPL holders to carry at school while picking up or dropping off a student. See RCW 9.41.280(3)(e)

:cuss:
:fire:
:banghead:

I'd very much like to see teachers rise up and protest on her behalf, urging that she not be prosecuted, and that 9.41.280 be amended by striking the phrase "while picking up or dropping off a student".
:what:

Don't know that my poor little heart could withstand the shock of it, but I'd attempt to manage somehow.
:D
 
Yeah she has a CCW and no it doesnt matter. And I have been arguing against these stupid laws since day one. It is stupid that all the CCWers and former cops in my law school class cant carry guns the 1% of our lives that we are on campus even though we been deemed perfectly trustworthy for years in every other situation.
 
This is unfortunate she will probaly lose her job and her certification to teach. As it stands now school zones are unarmed victim zones. I think its better that she came to school with a gun than her ex coming to school with anything weapon and bad intentions.
 
with the last two school shootings, this is going to stir up a huge public awakening. If we ever wanted to see how we're leaning towards self defense/gun rights, this will be the story.
 
[rant] Makes my blood boil :fire: How can we as parents and good citizens send our kids into an environment with so little protection? :banghead: Everyone knows, especially wacko's, that schools are unprotected. Victim rich environment. I think every teacher should be properly trained in at least self defense if not defensive firearm usage. My wife works at a school and let me tell ya' it ain't pretty walking down the halls, even in rural CT. The best they have are two unarmed ex-LEO's as security, not much of a match for a wacko with a gun. :rolleyes: [/rant]
 
I thought about being a teacher once, to dangerous. I'll just stay in the Army for now.
:scrutiny:
Ok, that wasn't supposed to be funny when I wrote it. I suppose the Army is pretty dangerous too, but we have guns.
 
Atleast you are equiped to meet the threat.

Im not sure of the gun laws in WZ state in in regards to storing firearms on school grounds.

If I was a principle here in my state, Id just keep a AR-15 in my car concealed. At least that would be able to diffuse the threat a bit.
 
Guns at School

What a shame that having tools to protect the children is unlawful. :rolleyes:

stlgunfan, Nice idea. BTW, you mean principal. (Principle is an ideal or belief.) :)
 
School officials learned about the gun after a co-worker asked Roe how she is protecting herself against her husband, the police report states, and she told him that she had a gun in her purse,

So once again someone is arrested for stupidity
Roe told deputies "that she was aware that she should not bring the gun to school. She thought that if she was discovered that she would simply be asked to put it in her vehicle. Ms. Roe said that she has a concealed weapons permit and is proficient at shooting because of her military training."

If she has a permit then she should know the law

She knowingly and willfully broke the law
Why should she be immune just because we don't agree with that law?
What has she done to change that law before it interfered with what she wanted to do?

Of course she should be prosecuted.

Her circumstances should be taken into consideration and she should be given the appropriate sentence if convicted.
In my mind it should be the lightest sentence possible.

She should be able to use the affirmative defense of mitigating circumstances and be given a slap on the wrist at most
 
any law repugnant to the constitution is null and void. denying the right to protect ones own life SHOULD most definitely be thought null and void.

A few years back, a principal down south did something very similar. He kept his handgun in his vehicle, and parked it the required distance from the school. One day, a situation occured, he ran to his car, got the gun, and diffused the situation- before the police arrived.
 
My Dad was a school teacher, history was his subject. Dad would bring to school a Harpers ferry flintlock pistol, 1851 Colt Navy percussion, SAA in 45 Colt, to show his students the different arms of the era's he was teaching.

She's obviously been trained by the army---which, knowing the way our legal system operates, is probably a strike against her rather than a "oh, you've perfectly trained in safe/correct use/handling of a firearm--go about your business" :fire: .
 
School officials learned about the gun after a co-worker asked Roe how she is protecting herself against her husband, the police report states, and she told him that she had a gun in her purse, according to the sheriff's department.

The co-worker told Nisqually Principal Karen Owen, the report states, and school officials called deputies.

When will people learn to ****?

That was Pearl Mississippi. He didn't park it at any required distance.
He suddenly remembered that he had forgot to take it out of his glovebox after a camping trip, or so his story goes
