NC Eagle Scout facing felony charge

TAB,  I don't have anyplace in this state where I can't have a gun on property, and only a small number where I can carry.  If you get past the "guns are bad" mentality that you have been indoctrinated into, you don't think of guns as something that must not be present before you hop in and take off.

Federal building/ parking lots.

Federal building/ parking lots.

No problemo!  Post offices, our county courthouse, our State Office buildings and Capital, all no problemo.

Most public schools and their property, county courthouses, and then there are the lovely jails and prisons where I can't.

If you are used to having guns on or near you, eventually you will take one somewhere its illegal. Its not on purpose but more out of habit. Anytime you are to look in my truck there will be at least one gun and who knows how much ammo ( I win the lottery every time I clean it out). I know I have done. I realized it after I was already there but they never knew and I sure as hell wasn't going to tell them.

The kid made an honest mistake, no point in ruining the rest of his life for it. Give him some detention or Saturday school and be done. The felony charges are way over the top for what he did. Leave the cops put of it they have more important things to do.
