SHS student faces expulsion for having hunting gun in parking lot
wrenrj1:
Let's slow down a bit. What are the rules of SB county schools? The article didn't mention any school shooting affiliation that this person would have a reason to have a firearm in his vehicle.
Nobody know's this kid's intent (I'm assuming it was not intentional), however let's hold kids and parents accountable to the rules. Seems that too many free passes are handed out as opposed to tough love. He was wrong.
Saying that, the punishment is the issue, was it appropriate?

I don't believe that it is wrong to have a firearm in your vehicle no matter where you park.
Against the rules? Yes and that is the problem.

Can you clarify that?

Yeah that was a mistake...oops. What i meant to say was:
We need to push for a state law in Nebraska that will declare one's vehicle an extension of one's home. And we need to pass along with it legislation that will forbid employers from banning the possession of firearms in employees vehicles while parked at work.

So because this kid forgot to take the shotgun out of the vehicle after hunting you want to make him a felon and ruin his life because he made an honest mistake? He didn't hurt anyone and the shotgun was not loaded in accordance with state law as far as transporting shotguns in a vehicle is concerned.
Just another example of why our prisons are full with people that shouldn't be there while the ones that should be locked up are not.

This junk maybe legit on either of the left coasts, but not in Nebraska.
When I was a kid, 90% of the vehicles in the school parking lot had firearms in them (trunk or back window) and no one cared. In fact, if someone got a new one most the teachers and kids were out there at noon break to admire it.
This SB rot is indicative of 'what is wrong in the US' at the moment.
