Absolutely classic case of hypocrisy!

It would be better if he had a 16 round mag in it as well  >:D

I can see it being an honest mistake...I vote zero tolerance for someone who lobbied for a specific bill & now expects some sort of a break!

The real question though is......who called on him....had to be someone he knew who knew that he was carrying....if a random person saw it they would have given a description of him.

“I will say he had no ill intent to harm these students,” Brinkworth added. “I don’t know why he had it on him.”

This line of thought is the problem.

I had a modicum of sympathy before reading the article. After all, he seems like a decent, well-intentioned man, even if he is wrong on the issue. He was volunteering to help mentor kids in a school sponsored program.

But let's see... he was charged with two counts of felony possession of a firearm on school grounds. It's not like he made two trip to the school, so I'm guessing he had two guns. He likely had a gun on his belt and another backup gun somewhere on him. How on God's green earth do you not realize you have one, let alone two, guns on your person?

Then, despite being in phone contact with a police lieutenant during the event, he never tells the cops he is armed (apparently the lock down didn't jog his memory). They only discovered that he was armed when they pat down each person as they cleared the school. It sounds like he was hoping to get away with it.

How do you not realize you have a gun holstered to your hip?
Then never admit to the Police it is you, until you are searched?
What a liar and maroon, I am amazed that he didn't try to stash it somewhere in the school.

He was mentoring future gang members. Teaching them the proper way to hide a gun.

Hopefully this instance will help wake up some of his supporters to think that hey, there ARE good people with guns...

Some of Ferguson’s supporters echoed similar criticism, saying that carrying a weapon meant Ferguson could have helped police in the event there was a gunman actually threatening students.

“Dwayne probably was in a position to help the police not knowing that he was the one they were looking for,” said George Johnson, president of Buffalo United Front
"Well-regulated" meant well equipped, trained and disciplined... not controlled with an iron fist.

"The pigs are more equal" - Orwell.  If this guy wasn't part of the local "concerned citizenry" they'd be setting the papers on fire with descriptions of him as some sort of vigilante Rambo-type.

Also, in this day and age, HOW THE HELL DO YOU MAKE AN "ANONYMOUS" PHONE CALL?!?!?
