"Students, even if they are licensed adults, may not store guns in their cars."

Teaching students who is master.

I grew up in what was, at the time, rural Texas. (now just another part of Houston I believe, lol) If you went out to my high school's parking lot you'd find lots of guns! Most, if not all, the trucks had gun racks and there were guns on the racks! Even the narc dogs ignored them (but they didn't ignore Jack Daniels bottles, pot seeds and hand guns)

But that was a different time.

That’s the point of government schooling isn’t it?

To train the next generation of slaves.

Here’s the keyword : “reluctantly”. There isn’t a pro-liberty school system in America. The teachers and their administrators simply do not believe in liberty.

There is no attempt to educate in a way that allows individuals to take responsibility. Someone else decides what you will learn, when and how. It’s the very opposite of liberty and the results - near permanent immaturity as adults - are obvious.

“Public Schools officials have reluctantly weakened their weapons policy”

Not “weakened,” STRENGTHENED.

...as long as the weapon is locked in an enclosed compartment and out of sight... But..."It's scary... A real manly man, not.

BTW, Georgia requires a "gun owners" license?

When I was stationed at NAS Albany, we used to cart our guns all over the state, and even into N. Florida, shooting in the South Georiga Police Pistol League with no such BS.

When I was in High School in the mid 1970’s it was not unusual to see a hunting rifle in the gun rack of a student's pickup. The school even had a competition shooting club. One of the yearbook photos has the club (which included one girl) posing with their rifles on the front steps of the school. None of us ever gave it a second thought.

Previously, schools were considered safety zones...

And now they will actually be (marginally) safer. Better would have been to recognize Constitutional Carry, but....baby steps...

I’d confirm this if I were you.

I wouldn’t believe anything Jenel Few wrote. If she wrote that the sky were blue, I’d check it twice.

I work for a local organization here in Coastal Georgia who she has written about before. We found that she actually made quotes up about us. The persons she was supposed to be quoting were quite surprised at her writings.

Is there any other newswriter out there you could get this info from?

A friend of mine posted about this on Facebook last week. She’d seen something on the nightly propaganda, erm, news. She was dead convinced that students were going to be running amok with guns in the middle schools. I did a teeny bit of research and told her that it was only teachers who were licensed to carry already (reminded her that it takes a good deal of effort to get that license...and that the people who go through the background checks for the license are not the types to go postal at whim), and the weapons were to be unloaded and locked in the car. The thugs with guns are still going to have them, and they probably don’t have them unloaded and locked in the car.

She had no clue about what the law said...just what the angry lady on the news was spouting, invoking fear among the parents. :( I do love her, but sometimes she’s such a sheep.

Now that I’ve gotten that out...about the students. You have to be 21 to get a license in GA. How many 21 year old school kids are there? I went to school in GA, and there was one 21 yr old in the graduating class before me...she was mainstreamed special ed, who they had to graduate, because she was 21. Very sweet, but...I wonder where she is now. Poor dear. Don’t think she could have gotten a license for a weapon though (goodness, I hope not...she couldn’t keep track of her lunch money, her little brother had to keep it for her).
