    I thought Maryland forebode anyone under 21 from handgun possession? Maybe that's what the charge should read, instead of possession by a minor.

    As if he cares? He deliberately carried a weapon illegally into a school. No law will stop this criminal. :mad54:

    Agree.

    Just playing devils advocate, but how is that different from the "we will not comply" mindset?

    Illegal possession is illegal possession, in the eyes of the law.

    I am not defending his actions, he should have known better. But what if he was carrying it for self defense?

    I guess i am surprised at the level of pitchforks out, would think there would be at least one person pointing out that:

    The 21 year old age to own a handgun is stupid and arbitrary
    Gun free school zones may encourage school shooters


    2A advocacy doesnt stop with stereotypical gun owners. Its either a right, or it isnt.

    I agree with your post even if you were just playing devil's advocate .

    This sort of logical incoherency in what makes us so weak.

    I am very interested to see others respond to this thread since most of us disagree with the laws that were broken here.

    Requiring the firearm on his person is one law that we would want, but the state probably saw it the opposite way in this case, that is, they would have been more upset if the firearm was on his person.

    The issue is that he, as a 19 year old, had a handgun and he had it in school.

    Most of us who carry make sure we carry within the scope of the law. Even if Maryland had reasonable CCW laws, we would not be allowed to carry on school grounds and so we would abide by the law.

    For all we know, he already has a sheet as long as your arm.

    We don't know if he has a sheet.

    If he is an adult and not a felon we should support his right to carry a firearm even in a school.

    This is why I believe this thread will give us insight into where we all really stand on a natural right.

    So, you support teens bringing guns to school in today's world. :crazy:

    Now, I did it when I was in school but that was a different world. Today, with the way kids escalate violence, it would be out and out nuts.

    2 apostrophes in his name AND carrying a purse in school? At minimum he should be charged a man card violation for carrying a gun in a purse.

    Thanks for making my point crystal clear. You support your rights, but not someone's with a funny-sounding name who is much younger than you, but still an adult. Either that, or you are for raising the age of adulthood .
