Newtown, Conn., teacher arrested for gun at school

[Wendell]

Newtown police say 46-year-old Jason Adams, of Newtown, was found with a concealed firearm on Wednesday morning. Newtown Middle School security detained a teacher who had been seen with a firearm. Adams was charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds, which is illegal in Connecticut. Police say he has a valid pistol permit. The Newtown school system says the teacher has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. A gunman shot and killed 20 students and six educators at nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012.

I can't be that lucky that this case should walk in the door...

I'll check voicemail tomorrow morning and find out.

Although I would never advise breaking the law, I find the priorities or our society to be disturbing.

An armored car guard can be licensed to carry a gun in one state, and by federal law all 50 states must honor that license while he is on duty.

A teacher, parent, etc. with a concealed handgun license issued by their home state (or even by multiple states) cannot carry a gun into a school to protect children in their care.

What does that say about which we value more: our money or our children?

Mitchell, I do hope this case comes your way. This teacher needs someone who can truly understand and argue his case.

I hope there's donations set up for his defense.

I feel for the guy and hope this works out for him. He has a hell of a battle in store.

I'd think that if one decides to carry in such an NPE with so much hysterical baggage that one would have a rock solid carry completely covert method with a very small non-detectable gun. This would not be the place to prove you can CC a G35.

It would be very interesting to find out his carry method and how he was outed.

Dude, you've got to keep us posted.

That, and remember that "Kickstarter" is some sort of thing. Just saying.

Hm, I fear this could go the wrong way. Hopefully Mr. Adams retains an excellent attorney. Good luck to you with that voicemail, Mitchell.

I think this case is very lucky. the government should closely manage access to guns

They do. SMH. This man is a college educated productive citizen who was thoroughly vetted by the government to be allowed to have and carry a firearm. His mistake was wanting to protect his and the lives of his students. The government frowns on this and would rather schools remain open killing fields for any lunatic to bust in and kill them all without any opposition.
So, how was this case very lucky?

Do you seriously think they don't?
