School Principals Use Police Against Parents with Gun Permits

Was there another case in Michigan where a parent was harassed for having a gun permit? My memory is not as good as it once was.

People who don’t homeschool are like people who vacation in Mexico. Wake up!

This is one of many reasons why you shouldn’t advertise you carry or have a carry permit. Keep it to yourself if for no other reason than that it’s always a big advantage to have surprise on your side.

If I had a dime for every time a drew a phallic symbol, I’d have a whole lot of dimes.

i am sorry but, why in the world does anybody other than liberals who cannot afford private school send their children to government school? for the life of me, i do not get it... i do not know if those parents with gun permits in this story are conservative, but if they are—well, you send your kids to government school, you have to deal with government employees... and most of them are against the very things you are for...

i agree... i do not want anyone to know whether or not i have firearms... if i have one, i do not want anyone to know... if i do not have one, i do not want anyone to know...

plus—the parent is crazy to have her FB so public that the school principal can access her wall...

Like George Zimmerman did.

OTOH, I’ll bet the guy that ended up dead in a theater would not have thrown popcorn on the guy if he had known he was carrying.

An armed society is a polite society.

"schools as intolerant, politically correct bastions of citizen disarmament orthodoxy."

Bears repeating.

I know, right? It's like the abused female who shouts, "I'm leaving you!" to her abuser, and then gets beaten or shot.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yes, homeschool or put your kid in private school. The public school system is a cesspool.

I live in Oklahoma, where we have open carry. My first thought in considering whether or not to throw popcorn on someone open carrying isn’t whether or not he’ll shoot me. That’s not about “politeness.”

[SeaHawkFan]

This is my rifle, this is my gun; one is for killing, the other is for fun.

[SeaHawkFan]

Aren’t all guns phallic symbols?

Actually, I think it is. It’s how MAD worked (Mutual Assured Destruction). The reason we have not had WWIII yet is the fear of it going nuclear. When you’re facing a guy you never met and he’s asking you to do something regarding your use of your cell phone, you are actually less likely to throw popcorn on him if you see an open carry sidearm on him. You don’t want to escalate the situation.

And not throwing popcorn is more polite than throwing popcorn. So the overt presence of a gun reduces (but doesn’t eliminate, if you have brass ones) the amount of impolite behavior.

FWIW, this is one reason I KNOW George Zimmerman didn’t start the physical stuff with Martin. The guy without a gun is the guy who escelates physically. And that is impolite.

[Oberon]

My first thought in considering whether or not to throw popcorn on someone open carrying isn’t whether or not he’ll shoot me.

In that situation... hard to imagine, but I'm trying here... my first thought would be "What am I, some kind of moron?" and I discard the impulse out of hand.

I instructed my son to let me know the instant anyone at his school asks him if we have firearms. Or anything else for that matter.

[I want the USA back]

Fascist bastards.
