Woman had gun on school campus

[C-dub]

NC law does not allow a CHL to carry on school property and it is a Class 1 Felony if you do. GFSZ does not even matter. http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/EnactedLegi ... 269.2.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Interesting and disturbing that she would have an exemption from the Federal GFSZ, but not NC's own laws.

I wonder if NC has a law similar to our "Necessity" or a conflicting harms law. Basically, violating a law is justified to avoid a greater harm than is prohibited by the broken law.

Maybe, but in this case she didn't need it. It was nice that she had it in case she needed it and maybe she would not have been arrested if she had actually used it.

What, was she supposed to toss her gun out the window into the playground before she pulled into the parking lot?

No. She wasn't supposed to have gone onto school property with a gun. I would expect the same outcome if someone ran into a school while CCing to report that they were being followed. That she was being followed has not been confirmed. How many times have any of us thought we were being followed only to have it turn out that we were not and the other person just happened to be going in the same general vicinity as you or it turned out to be one of your neighbor's?

I do hope that she can convince the judge that she really was afraid and thought someone was following her and they will drop the charges or find her not guilty.
