Yep. And hardship licenses generally have some restrictions on them. Like they can only drive to and from school etc. And I don't think the 15 year old was on his way to school at 3:45AM

Classes start early.

I think many of us have a picture in our mind of this kid, and it isn't the Eddie Eagle program's poster child.
However, if it isn't illegal for him to have one in his possession, then the kid (legally) had just as much right to carry as the 30-year-old. (Yes, I understand that if/when gang involvement was proven, that would change things.)

Based on the news story alone, it seems justified. However, we don't tend to get the full story from the papers.
