It wasn't me

[GilpinGuy]

I got this email a half hour ago from my kids school:

Parents,
A parent with a concealed weapon permit brought the weapon into the school building this morning, October 16, 2014just prior to 8 a.m. Gilpin County Sheriff Deputy Lee Ramsey immediately contacted the parent and confiscated the pistol. Deputy Ramsey arrested the parent and the parent is in custody at the Gilpin County Jail. Criminal charges are pending.

Other parents in the building at the time reported to administrators and Deputy Ramsey that a weapon was in the building. Deputy Ramsey took immediate action to safeguard all students.

All students and staff are safe and school was not disrupted and continues as normally scheduled.

I guess this is a good time to review: I can drop off my kid at school because...

I thought CCP trumped the unloaded in the motor vehicle part. That sucks! So anytime I pick my son up, on my way home from work, I have to sit there and unload. What a PITA!

[newracer]

You do not have to unload.

[MED]

I thought CCP trumped the unloaded in the motor vehicle part. That sucks! So anytime I pick my son up, on my way home from work, I have to sit there and unload. What a PITA!

No, I believe it is saying that you need to remain in your vehicle. From what I gather, you can't leave the vehicle even if the firearms are unloaded unless it is on a college, university, or seminary campus because primary and secondary are not included in the exceptions.

[Irving]

That guy should carry better. Hope no charges.

[KestrelBike]

Glad they got that mouth-foaming violent criminal off the streets? Imagine the response if he had been packing a PB&J.

I hope they follow the same process they did here:

I always think about this sitting in the car outside kids school. I park on the street and stay out of the lot but still always in the back of mind.

How did they discover it? Metal detectors? Did he whip it out in front of the kids??

[Irving]

If you are a licensed armed guard, can you legally carry on school grounds? Not like just hanging out at a school, but to drop off/pick up your kids?

This is really good to know...it doesn't help me though because I generally have more then my carry handgun in my car.

[Irving]

As long as you are not leaving the car, I don't see an issue. Perhaps I'm wrong?

[68Charger]

As long as you are not leaving the car, I don't see an issue. Perhaps I'm wrong?

That is my understanding... but I carry in my kids' school all the time, so what do I know?

[KS63]

Good post Newracer. This comes up often and many people are unsure if the Law in this regard. It should be Stickied for future reference.

[GilpinGuy]

How did they discover it? Metal detectors? Did he whip it out in front of the kids??

There are no metal detectors at the school. My guess is that the poor bastards shirt rode up on him or something.

That's right. I'd get my kid and get the F'k outta there!

[Ronin13]

According to the law- you can leave it locked in your car if you are not in the car.
"A permittee may have a handgun on the real property of the public school so long as the handgun remains in his or her vehicle and, if the permittee is not in the vehicle, the handgun is in a compartment within the vehicle and the vehicle is locked."
I've done this before visiting my old HS, well mostly to visit with my friend who happens to be the SRO. Never once had an issue.

[Irving]

Yeah but we're talking non-handguns now.

It might raise some eyebrows, sitting in a vehicle outside a school. [Coffee]

I'll never understand the desire for our children, our future, to be fish in a barrel (gun-free zone farce).

You'll never understand because you're not an anti-gun, libtard moron that puts 2 and 2 together and somehow gets potato.

I wonder, how long until our kids have to empty everything out of their pockets and remove their shoes... Just to go to class!? Ben Franklin said something about sacrificing liberty for security...

[Irving]

Many of the newer schools, or following school remodels they are installing metal detectors. The school that my wife works at requires any visitor to buzz in, look into a security camera, walk through double security doors equipped with metal detectors. The metal detectors do not alarm, and only show up in the school resource officer office as well as the front desk receptionist. There is probably more than that, but I really don't ask questions.

He probably got passively hit with the metal detector and was approached and questioned by the officer.

Just because your kids school did not have them last year, does not mean that they are not going to be installed over the summer.

There would be a ton of metal on parents and kids alike though.

[BadShot]

That is my understanding... but I carry in my kids' school all the time, so what do I know?
Then you are breaking the law and have foolishly announced to the interweb that you are committing a felony..not a good idea.

I personally will happily store my weapon(s) in my vehicle while at my kids school.. I'm not going to risk a felony conviction and potentially get jail time and not be able to provide for my family.

But hey if ya'll want to take that risk, have at..just don't be silly and announce you're committing a felony on the damn errornet..rember that everything on the internet last forever and can and will be used against you.

[Irving]

I believe he may home school.

[BadShot]

Well then thats another matter all together lol

No metal detectors at this school. I'm still waiting to hear more details about this. It's a small community up here. It'll come out eventually.

Would you say that you could bet on it.

Haha! Yes I would.
