Open Season on Schools (as usual) Shirley Katz Loses Bid to Carry Gun

More later…but here’s the short/sweet:

Shirley Katz…LOSES…before a Medford Judge in the case of whether she can carry a gun to school.
While schools cannot forbid you from carrying your gun to school if you’re a concealed carry permit holder…if you WORK FOR THE SCHOOL …they can. Now…does that make any sense?
We acknowledge the law says you can bring it….but because the school is your employer you can’t bring your gun.

The case boiled down to a “what the meaning of “is” is” moment…in that…the judge said the law states no ordinance can forbid you from bringing your gun into a school.
But the judge reasoned…school boards don’t make “ordinances” they make policies…and so…the law does not apply to Shirley Katz…and therefore she cannot bring her gun.

See…that’s a distinction with barely a difference.

The net effect is the same whether it’s a policy…a rule…a diktat…a suggestion.
The net effect is still the same.

Get the ruling here.
