"This matter is very serious and troubling, both the Newtown Public School system and the Newtown Police Department took immediate steps to address the matter," Newtown schools said in the statement.

Because having the means to defend himself and his students is a bad thing...

I read this earlier. He will be fired, probably pay huge fines/fees and have a felony on his record and never get a teaching job again. Even if it was a mistake and he forgot to take it out, he's "F"d.
Sad..... but what you said is true. It's a bad thing he had the means to defend himself and others.

They have NO FIREARMS signs across the school grounds. What more does one need for safety ?

Firearms can't read. Either that, or they're completely ignorant of the law.

CCW is never going to be tolerated in the demonrat controlled school systems. An armed good guy is never going to be allowed to stop a mass shooting in a school. More dead children = gun confiscation. That is the demonrats end game, don't ever doubt it.

Sad, he wants to protect him and those around him from those that mean harm. In turn he is persecuted.

Huh?
Maybe it's just me but if the weapon was concealed, who saw it?

It was during a staff meeting, and he reportedly was carrying it in his hand down a hallway when another teacher saw it and called it in.

Some guy brought his kid to the Gilpin county school with his gun on and got arrested for it a year or two ago. I could never find out what happened to him as far as fines, etc.

Then it wasn't "concealed".
