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...

18-12-105.5. Unlawfully carrying a weapon - unlawful possession of weapons - school, college, or university grounds

(3) It shall not be an offense under this section if:

(a) The weapon is unloaded and remains inside a motor vehicle while upon the real estate of any public or private college, university, or seminary; or (...but I can't exit my vehicle with my weapon stashed unloaded in the vehicle because elementary, middle, and high are not listed)

(c) The person is in a private automobile or other private means of conveyance and is carrying a weapon for lawful protection of that person's or another's person or property while traveling; or

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.

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.

That guy should carry better. Hope no charges.
