A School Board Has the Perfect Response to Open Carry Assholes

After Republicans passed yet another open carry law, this time in Michigan, a school board had a problem with a parent open carrying in school.

It turns out that this is not illegal so long as you carry the proper permits (great law there, huh?), but the school came up with an ingenious response.

They determined that they did not have the ability to determine whether or not a person bringing a gun onto campus had his papers in order, so if anyone comes onto campus with a gun, the response will be a lock-down and calling 911:

A Michigan man, picking his child up at school, carried his pistol into the building in his hip holster. The staff was not amused. Since open carry is legal in Michigan, the parent was within his rights. But the Huron Valley School District’s board decided that they needed to have a procedure in place for future incidents.

Open carry is perfectly legal in Michigan but only if you have a Concealed Pistol License (CPL). The parent — who remains anonymous — did have a CPL. But both state and federal law prohibits guns on school property except for a legal parent or guardian who must leave the weapon in the car and this only applies to CPL holders, who must pass a comprehensive background check and carry the gun visibly.

That’s all well and good for open-carry folks. But the school district is committed to keeping the children in their care safe. To that end, School Board President Rebecca Walsh has set out the following plan:

“If this occurs during school hours, the building will immediately go into lockdown status, and 9-1-1 will be called so law enforcement agencies can make a determination on the status of the person with the weapon.”

She added that the same policy applies when school is not in session, without the lockdown. The police will be summoned for any visitor who brings a gun onto school property. The School District feels that they must use this procedure for everyone because they have no way of knowing who is properly licensed.

This is a proper, and well deserved, f%$# you to the ammosexuals, and I wholeheartedly approve.
