If you carry at work, make sure you don't just leave your piece anywhere.

Maybe he was planning on doing a sweep of the school incase of an intruder?

After reading Ray Ray's thread he wanted to be prepared.

If they would only teach the kids the Eddie Eagle rules there wouldn't be a big deal here. Instead we act like guns are magic wands that just go boom when you look at them the wrong way.

the comments are by far the best..

While I agree he shouldn't of left his gun in the room, but this just sounds like a momentary lapse of concentration. Guy was legally carrying his permitted handgun, doing some work in the ceiling, decided to take it off, and forgot about it. This was most likely after hours and no kids were in danger, but it's going to be blown out of proportion and he'll prob. face some jail time, lose all his weapons his FID, and carry a criminal record.

Damn, that sucks

It's guy like that that make it harder on the rest of us. That's just the kind of news that keeps the anti-gunners in power. And yeah, kids should know the Eddie Eagle rules, but that's a whole other topic.

In Connecticut, it is illegal for you to carry, even with a permit, on school grounds without written permission from school officials. The shoddy reporting failed to make that clear. Furthermore, it is also a crime to leave a loaded and unsecured firearm in a place that provides access to minor children.

 

Do you actually feel bad for this idiot? Everyone was quick to put the guy who had his OC sidearm taken and used against him on blast. Momentary lapse? I call bullsh*t. I won't lose any sleep if he has his carry permit revoked.
