It appears that they falsely arrested this woman, at least from the evidence that's come out so far. We are trying to get more information from the police, but as you can see in the article, they are blaming the "court system" for them not giving out any more information. Critically, there are two pieces of information, and only two, that appear to be relevant - whether the gun was (1) unloaded and (2) locked in a container or in the trunk of the car. If both of those conditions are true, then this woman did not violate California law. It seems telling that in the letter sent home to parents from the school, they simply state that "weapons, of any form, are strictly prohibited from school property," and they go on to cite penal code 626.9. However, this is what penal code 626.9 says (I'm omitting the irrelevant sections below this excerpt):

626.9.

(a) This section shall be known, and may be cited, as the Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1995.

(b) Any person who possesses a firearm in a place that the person knows, or reasonably should know, is a school zone, as defined in paragraph (1) of subdivision (e), unless it is with the written permission of the school district superintendent, his or her designee, or equivalent school authority, shall be punished as specified in subdivision (f).

(c) Subdivision (b) does not apply to the possession of a firearm under any of the following circumstances:

(1) Within a place of residence or place of business or on private property, if the place of residence, place of business, or private property is not part of the school grounds and the possession of the firearm is otherwise lawful.

(2) When the firearm is an unloaded pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed on the person and is in a locked container or within the locked trunk of a motor vehicle.

This section does not prohibit or limit the otherwise lawful transportation of any other firearm, other than a pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed on the person, in accordance with state law.

No crime here, at least not in free states.

Police carry guns into schools all the time so obviously, the gun isn’t the problem.

Flat violation of “shall not be infringed”.

The police even said maybe no laws were broken. So why do they do the bidding of the hoplophobic school administration? Because the police are too weak to tell the left-wing parents and the gun-grabbing city government to settle down and learn about the law.

That’ll certainly stop the next person who wants to bring a firearm on campus to do harm. If not, we need more anti-gun laws. /sarc

The employee said Scott admitted to having a weapon in her vehicle.

Loose lips sink ships.

Of course they didn’t ID the rat that snitched on her.

Bardere said another employee came forward and “shared a conversation from the past week about weapons.”

Never trust a liberal. Ever! Tell them nothing of importance and very little of anything else.

Such should seriously be a prime pro-RKBA case. I’m amazed such incidents keep happening, with absolutely no leveraging from our side. So much talk about restoring rights, so much request for legal-fees money, so little progress over decades. Stuff like this should be a slam-dunk.

Dear San Bernardino LEOs:

If I’m traveling through San Bernardino in a vehicle, I will be armed. And given your recent history, I will be heavily armed.

Thanks for listening.

I teach, and I would bet that there are more teachers’ cars in the parking lot that do have a gun than don’t. Perfectly legal in Texas.

If I had a kid in that school, I’d remove him immediately.

Not because a staff member had a gun in her car, but because they’ve doubled-down on the “safe zone” fallacy, announcing to any would-be psycho that, not only are they helplessly stupid, but they’ll militantly enforce their helpless stupidity.

When I was in High School there were dozens of trucks and cars on the school parking lot during hunting season with shotguns and rifles in them. Heck the trucks had them in gun racks plainly visible! No one got shot, no one went crying to mommy or any of the garbage that goes on today!

OK So a group of Armed Men in Magic Brown Uniforms conspired to Kidnap and Hold for Ransom a Woman for No apparent reason. The only question is, how much money are their bosses trying to extort from the poor woman?

Do you think the District Attorney or Attorney General will Prosecute these Violent Gang Members??
