Pike student arrested?

[Zenmaster961]

That is correct. There are 3 ways to leave the firearm in the vehicle while on school property.


(b) It is a defense to a prosecution under subsection (a) that:

(1) the person is permitted to legally possess the firearm; and

(2) the firearm is:

(A) locked in the trunk of the person’s motor vehicle;

(B) kept in the glove compartment of the person’s locked motor vehicle; or

(C) stored out of plain sight in the person’s locked motor vehicle.

(c) A person who is permitted to legally possess a firearm and who knowingly, intentionally, or recklessly leaves the firearm in plain view in a motor vehicle that is parked in a school parking lot commits a Class A misdemeanor.

Question: would being covered completely by, say, a towel or gym bag count as out of plain sight?

Another question: are you breaking the law by getting out of your vehicle to secure it in the trunk on school property?

I'm not an atty but I think the answer is yes.
Recall Guy saying so long as you can NOT see if when looking thru the car windows.

So say you have it on the backseat and have a cover over it.
It's out of sight from view of the windows.
Personally not a preferred method.

As for this case that kid was/is STUPID!
wtf you got a handgun license *AND* have weed!
Weed is still illegal!

Yes technically you ARE from the moment you step out with firearm on body to the moment you out it in the trunk while on school property. Granted a LEO needs to see you doing that.

Same as are you breaking the law for not stopping at a stop sign if no one else does not see you do it at 3am?

It’s Marion count6 I didn’t think they were prosecuting weed?

 

[jedi]

Sorry I though it was weed.
No matter.
Stupid to have ILLEGAL DRUGS if you also have a gun.
the 2 dont mix oer our current laws.
Which points to him maybe being a drug dealer??

they aren’t prosecuting simple possession of small amounts. The pike kid was charged with dealing and other higher level counts.

Well I am old. School lot was 1st come 1st park. Late comers had to park on the street or in the surrounding area and walk a bit. Lot was full every day. No passes.
But those were times that no drugs/guns or other dumb **** showed up in school for the most part. Seems the world is slipping towards THE BRINK.

“For the most part”? You’re not much older than me but when I was in school there was drugs everywhere! Inside the building and in many cars!
