Yeah I know... 'Technically' this guy had been in the wrong for carrying a handgun into school premises... But in a normal world, why should that be a problem? In this day and age and with the shit going on everywhere, I prefer to be constantly armed, anywhere...
But, word of advice to those who are carrying concealed: Concealed carry means CONCEALED. Pure and simple. Because you may be in a place where it is perfectly legal to do so, and yet, some little soyboy with histrionic personality disorder may blow everything out of proportion and you still end up getting more attention than you want from multiple parties.
Remember... If you think it might show, print, or stick out, don't wear it in that spot on your person. Put it in a backpack or haversack. Don't be this guy...

A man who was picking up a student walked into Byrns Darden Elementary School packing a handgun, two spare magazines and a knife on Monday.
School Resource Officers with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office stopped the man and arrested him for possessing a firearm inside an elementary school, according to a news release.
At 3:18 p.m., the 53-year-old man entered the school to pick up a student, according to Sandra Brandon, MCSO spokeswoman. Front office staff noticed what looked to be the outline of a firearm under his clothing and notified the School Resource Officer.
While waiting for the SRO, faculty, staff and administrators monitored the man from the office and remotely via cameras, according to Anthony Jordan, CMCSS spokesman.
The schools weren't put on lockdown, but student dismissal was delayed until the SRO arrived. Students remained in their classrooms.
Deputy Ashley Grimes made contact with the man at the front office. She pulled him aside into a private office and asked if he was armed. He said he was, and she removed the Smith & Wesson handgun from his side without incident, Brandon said.
In addition to the firearm and loaded magazine, he was also in possession of two additional magazines loaded with 14 rounds of ammunition, and a knife.
The man, who does have a valid handgun carry permit, said he was unaware that it was against the law to carry in the school. The law is posted on the door when entering the school, Brandon said.
He was taken into custody and charged with carrying weapons on school property, which is a Class E felony.

Oh teh noez, he had 14 rounds of ammunition and even a knife! The horror... The humanity... Way to go, ruin an innocent guy's life and cost him his gun rights with a felony charge.
