Back to the topic at hand...I am very interested in how the teacher got spotted with a gun. Was he just sloppy with his concealment?
Jesus paid a debt he did not owe,
Because I owed a debt I could not pay.

Very little about how he got caught, but given how early in the day he got caught, three possibilities are suggested:
1) He got sloppy with his concealment.
2) He opened his mouth about the fact that he was armed around the wrong person.
3) Co-workers noticed the little irregularities that come from carrying a gun, got curious, and figured it out. Carrying in a NPE where one is observed 40+ hours/week by the same people is very different from a 2 hour trip to the local shopping mall: little details will be noticed, and will become a subject of discussion, increasing the likelihood of getting caught.
No specifics mentioned ....
"Jason Adams, who also lives in Newtown, was taken into custody by an armed security guard, police told the Hartford Courant. School officials then called police.
Another teacher saw Adams with the gun and told the security officer, who is a retired Shelton, Connecticut, police officer."

The path of least resistance will seldom get you where you need to be.
If the teacher chose to carry at work his decision was synonymous with playing hopscotch in a minefield. It certainly appears that he managed to land on a mine.
No one will be forgiving in Newtown, CT the home of the Sandy Hook school massacre. The anti-gun progressives will be out for blood. He will undoubtedly incur significant legal expenses, probably loose his job, potentially be barred form his chosen profession, loose his 2nd Amendment rights and all his firearms. I can't imagine how this will not ruin his life.
Connecticut is rabidly anti-gun. There probably isn't a worse place nationwide for this to happen. If he was the owner of any "assault weapon/s" (as defined by CT) no matter the outcome they absolutely are gone for good. CT law required Assault Weapons be "registered" by legislation passed post Sandy Hook. They will have already been seized and transferred out of his name. Even if he is found completely innocent there is no way to return them under the current law.
