There is absolutely no excuse for that!

Yes. That point was obvious and made. There should be almost no discussion on the actual leaving of the gun. We have discussed this before.

I'm still trying to figure out if school's can allow someone to open carry. I'm not advocating it, just trying to figure out the legality.

I know you cannot open carry on a college campus but I haven't found anyplace saying a school can't grant you the ability to carry openly.

The board sets the policy. If the board says the superintendent and principal can open carry, then I suppose they can.
I believe "campus carry" for college campuses is concealed only, and limited to licensees.

That may be where I'm blurring the two together, college vs. Pre-K-12. I haven't had the time yet to go back over all the law and changes.

Other than the obvious error of leaving a gun, the article states that he open carried at school. Or maybe I'm reading it wrong or, quite possibly, reported wrong. Even with permission I thought you had to still had to carry concealed. Or did I make that up?
