LPD Arrest HIGH School Student for Weapons Possession
http://www.littletongov.org/index.as...=1414&page=242
Seems, after some quick research, some information may be missing. Didn't think having a weapon, on school grounds, if locked in car was illegal in itself. But it appears if you have no CHP it needs to be unloaded. Am I understanding this law correctly?
Fucking stupid! The US has gone way too far left. In the 80's in the south it was commonplace to have shot guns and rifles in your vehicle. So the kid gets a felony, and now his chances for a decent job are screwed, so another mouth on the stamp...fucking ridiculous.
Thanks,

Back in high school in NY we used to leave our shotguns in our cars parked on school grounds so we could hunt after school. It was just normal and not a secret or anything. Now it would be a national news story.
I'm no lawyer, but doesn't age play into this as well? To possess a long gun, you have to be 18 and a pistol is 21, right?
I believe that you need to be 18 and 21 respectively to purchase but 18 to possess. Still, to be at high school and then shown another student you have a gun in the car, ...Originally Posted by Skip

My understanding, to purchase, that's correct. But concerning long guns, at least, younger than 18 hunt.
To purchase from an FFL.
I also did a double take (with my ears) when I heard they charged him with a felony when the gun never left the car.

Am I missing where it says a type of weapon? By reading the posts everyone is addressing a long gun, I didn't see any mention of the type in the brief statement on the district website.
We all know teenagers do stupid things, I also feel the brief statement is way too lacking on info to make any statement on whether it's stupid to charge the kid (age?) with a felony. There's too much not known to make blanket statements.
It's kind of why I posted. Lack of information and clarification of the law. I "think" I'm ok for I have a CHP but, for those who don't, just trying to clarify what you can and can't have in your car on school property.
