Michigan Dad Decides to Open Carry .45-Cal. Handgun at His Daughter's School to Make a Point: 'Notice the Lack of Pandemonium From the Gun'

by Jason Howerton

Seeking to make a point about firearms, a Michigan man decided to open carry his .45-cal. handgun at his daughter's school and later uploaded the footage to YouTube. The father says he made sure to first notify the school, the Michigan State Police, the county sheriff and other local law enforcement officials that he would be exercising his right to carry a gun.

"Decided to exercise my rights to carry a gun. In a school. As many of you know, federal law prohibits civilians (me) from carrying a gun near a school unless licensed by their state. As a CPL holder I am licensed," the man wrote in the YouTube video description. "I want to exercise my rights, but not endanger myself or the rights of others while doing it."

The man also urges others not to attempt to carry a firearm on school grounds without knowing all applicable laws, which vary in different states and counties. It is unclear when the video was recorded, but it was uploaded to YouTube on April 25, 2013.

A woman, who the video claims is a sheriff's deputy, can be heard expressing concerns about kids seeing the firearm and becoming alarmed. "Obviously, you and I know I can't stop you…I hope you realize what this is going to do to all those kids down there."

"Obviously, you and I know I can't stop you…I hope you realize what this is going to do to all those kids down there."

"The kids will be alright," the man replies.

The video later shows the man standing in a school hallway with his .45-cal. handgun strapped on his hip. According to the father, his daughter and other students didn't even seem to notice he was armed.

"Notice the lack of pandemonium from the gun," the caption in the video reads as children enjoy a book fair.

The rest of the man's trip to the school was seemingly incident free. He later had a conversation with the deputy about Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder recently vetoing a billthat would have permitted citizens with extra training to carry concealed weapons.

"To be honest with you, that would be better," the woman identified as a deputy says, talking about concealed carry.

"I am not in handcuffs," the father says in the video as he makes his way to his car. "How about that? Exercise your rights."

What do you think of the father's decision to open carry a firearm at his daughter's school – a reasonable way to exercise his Second Amendment rights or irresponsible?

Superbowl anti-gun ad, hope it backfires on them

PAT DOLLARD YOUNG AMERICANS 11 Hours Ago Bloomberg to Air Gun Control Ad During Superbowl Feb 2, 2013Toro520 Via The Associated Press: NEW YORK (Associated Press) – A gun control group founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is airing a Super Bowl advertisement calling for background checks.

LaPierre recently testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the NRA no longer supports background checks for all gun sales. A Bloomsberg spokesman would say only that the ad cost in the six-figure range....
