Yeah, but who called it in to begin with?

It was an "anonymous" complaint.
Some knew he carried and saw him or knew that he was going to the school.

I was unaware that his anti-gang stuff was lip service. And I certainly agree, misdemeanor or felony, it's really not going to make any real difference to who decides to break the law...

This is one of those I'm not sure he's the enemy deals...
Yes, he supported laws that made it illegal to carry firearms into public schools. I don't think that makes him the devil. Do you have to follow the NRA to the letter or be a radical 2nd amendment person, otherwise you're a "gun control advocate" ? Agree with it or not, it's an issue with a lot of debate associated with it and I'm not going to get polarized over it that when there are "big picture" issues to consider.

He's also been involved with anti-gang organizations and supports youth programs. He clearly has a concealed license and carries a gun. How does that give with gun control advocate?
Apparently he forgot he was carrying.. That ever happen to anyone here?

Doing more digging, it appears that other "gun control" he's commented on was touched off by that fact that gang kids are buying firearms via private transactions. Again, I can understand his perspective if he works with gangs and kids. Don't agree with it, but understand it.

What if someone is anti open-carry? Are they gun control advocates too?

Apparently the entire situation was triggered by an "anonymous tip"... Smells fishy to me. I wonder what side called that tip in? I wonder how many of us could get caught in a similar net?

There is so much polarization on this forum. No room for much disagreement... My guess is there are lots of people that don't say a word that might rock the boat.
