Father Open Carries Firearm Into His Child’s School, Alarms Parents And School
A Michigan father open carried his firearm into his child’s school and that action concerned the parents of children attending the school. The school district is trying to find a way to respect the Second Amendment while keeping the children safe, since obviously, this unidentified man only cares about the former.
For the time being, Huron Valley Schools said that any instance of open carry means they will apply its emergency procedures, which includes calling 911, and have an officer approve the entry of the individual with the firearm
“What we would do is we would apply our emergency procedures in the instance that someone chooses to open carry,” Kim Root, Director Of Community Relations for Huron Valley Schools, said.”For example whenever someone chooses to open carry on school grounds, we would apply our emergency procedures which would include going on lockdown.”
“I get that he’s exercising his right, and that is the law when it comes to open carry,” Ed Swadish, owner of Huron Valley Guns said.
Swadish admitted that he understands the parents’ concerns, but he said that open carry in this situation may actually be the safer option.
“If he was conceal carrying, and that’s not allowed, he would have to unholster his gun in the parking lot,” Swadish said. “And it may not be the safest option to leave his firearm in the car.”
“We will use our emergency procedures to ensure that we are doing what the community has asked us to do,” Root said. “And that is to protect the safety of our students first.”
Or the man could homeschool his child instead of freaking out the population of the school. Because there was a very recent school shooting and people are alarmed. It’s too bad that “respect those around you” was not written into the Second Amendment. Perhaps the Founders thought that that was a given.

Remember, nothing — NOTHING — is more important than the “right” of these people to carry a gun wherever the f*** they want. And they will keep reminding us of it every damn day.

How come the rest of us can’t claim one half of one amendment and just shove it down everybody else’s throat mindlessly until the end of time…
Larry Schmitt November 4th, 2014 at 12:03
That must be that silly militia thing you’re referring to.
M D Reese November 4th, 2014 at 12:10
Yes–let’s keep whacking them over the head with that. Apparently they can’t read.
Larry Schmitt November 4th, 2014 at 12:12
But they can read their Bible. But I’ll bet most haven’t read that either.
M D Reese November 4th, 2014 at 12:15
They can’t read that either. The let the likes of Pat Robertson interpret it for them. As Mark Twain said, the best cure for christianity is to read the buybull.

I thought it was a federal law about having firearms on School property. Guess I need to look that one up.
Larry Schmitt November 4th, 2014 at 10:44
Naturally any attempt to get schools declared no gun zones goes nowhere.
Steven Feil November 13th, 2014 at 00:14
Do you realize that nearly ALL mass shootings occur in your blessed NO GUN ZONE? Think about that one.

OK, Found this. http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2013/09/so_its_legal_to_carry_a_loaded.html
Edit: Found news article explaining the law and how is this possible.

Again another 2A loving father who prefers to exercise his “RIGHT” rather than do the right thing which is leave the goddamn weapon in the car. No he must walk in a school and make sure all those drills they now have to practice, because gunmen in schools is very real, become null and void. Not to mention psychological damage. Hey it’s his right, fuck your kids.

What are parents supposed to teach their kids about how to react when they see someone walk into their school carrying a gun? Wait until they’re shooting at you to get away? That father may think he’s showing kids that guns are okay, but what he’s really doing is either making them afraid of him or making them careless so that if someone intent on harm shows up they won’t recognize it until it’s too late.

“Swadish admitted that he understands the parents’ concerns, but he said that open carry in this situation may actually be the safer option.”
=========Dense, clueless, stupid, careless are the words that came to mind when I read that…
No guns allowed on school property would be much safer for the kids. That includes inside someones car on the parking lot….
Larry Schmitt November 4th, 2014 at 12:08
Remember what Joe not the plumber said to the parents of the murdered child: “Your grief for your child does not trump my right to carry guns.” Their is no such thing as an absolute right to guns, but you can’t tell these fools that.

If he had it concealed then no one would know but him, I work in schools and I am not for any guns in school. Since he demands to openly carry his penis, it is obvious this is not about his second ammendment rights.

NO ONE should carry a gun into a school EVER.

You can’t have drugs withing 150 yards of a school, but a gun??? No problem!

NUTS! The more these ammosexuals want to shove their interpretation of the 2nd Amendment without recognizing the militia part, the more I favor stringent gun control laws on a federal level. No one is safer when a gun is part of the equation.

Was it absolutely necessary for this man to whip out his penis extension in front of a bunch of kids? There should be a law against this kind of flashing.
