Yeah, before I read the article, I wondered how the school found out she had a gun..then when I saw she opened her big yap to tell someone she had a gun, I kinda thought she was too stupid to have one.
I guess we're only law and order conservatives when we happen to like the law in question, eh? When we don't like the law, those who seek to adhere to it are tattle-tales. Pathetic excuse for conservatism.
Well, you know how women are. They don't tell the little white lies to their girlfriends or co-workers that men do. (Trust me, I work with a bunch of women at both of my jobs and if it isn't listening to how hot the guy from "Grey's Anatomy" is, it's listening to how little Bobby was being sassy for Grandma). The woman probably has worked with the co-worker for some time and felt that she could be trusted.
On what grounds? The law is simple: Only law enforcement can carry weapons on school grounds. It's cut and dried, black and white. While one may be sympathetic to the teacher, the fact that she broke the law is undeniable and not debateable.
Really??? Bullets too???
You know that this dumbass reporter asked ,"did she have bullets too?"
Wrong. There's the law, and then there's good-old fashioned common sense that's been missing since the 60s.
The conservative route, in this context, would be the co-worker being happy that the woman is protecting herself and not saying anything else that would endanger the woman.
I sent this information over to Joe Waldron who operates a gun rights group in Washington and hope that he will prod a legislator to introduce legislation to fix the law. I suspect that Mary will not be prosecuted as the anti-gun blissninnies worry that the law might not hold up under the Washington state constitution. No federal court will throw the law out, but we do have a pretty good state constitution in Washington.
Teachers generally discourage children from tattling. This one should take that advice too.
Roe .....
Please tell me she wasn't married to Wade ?
My apologies, I thought the co-worker was a woman too.
Luckily, only a few nutbars actually believe in jury nullification. If it were otherwise, the immediate breakdown of our legal system via the ensuing epidemic of O.J. type verdicts would send us into anarchy over night. No system of justice can work when any individual believe he/she is the supreme arbiter of the law.
Sorry, I feel for this woman, but she broke a plainly written law. That, I cannot overlook just because. I also carry a gun, and I'm downright pedantic about obeying state and local laws. I don't carry where it's posted, I don't carry into drinking establishments, I don't carry into hospitals or schools, etc etc.
Roe was visibly upset and crying when police came to the school Thursday to investigate,
She had military training and she started crying when the police showed up?
Regardless, I think it is wise for teachers with CCW permits to carry on campus.
Ditto that. Big time.
Sorry, that would be criminal in and of itself. The conservative route IS NOT BECOMING AN ACCESSORY AFTER THE FACT no matter how badly you want to call that conservatism. It's criminal, plainly criminal. How we've fallen that so-called-conservatives now openly call for criminal conspiracies in open and public forums.
Holds five rounds .357/.38 spl. 
Most parents would WANT the teachers to be armed!
Oh...wait, the no-guns-at-schools-excepting-of-course-professional-gubmint-types laws were passed because of children with guns.
At least the law works, except when it doesn't and some criminal psycho shows up and starts killing at will and no one, because they're law abiding, has a gun to stop the murdering so the evildoers keep doing what they do until the police show up and by then it's usually too late.
Liberals feel good and that's all that matters.
You're going off on an irrelevant tangent. It doesn't matter what I think. I think it would be safe to allow me to carry a gun into the hospital when I drop by to see my wife. However, the law says otherwise so I disarm before I enter the building. What I think is irrelevant and the law is clear.
Laws were made to be broken and a jury to decide if the law is righteous
Who the hell are you quoting her? John Dillenger? What's the whole quote? "Laws are made to be broken and banks are made to be robbed?? Please, I can't believe a so-called-conservative is actually posting such liberal nonsense as "laws are made to be broken"
