I have no conceal carry license in MN.
I would be transporting the firearm, unloaded, and in a case in my trunk.
The ammunition would be stored in a different bag in the trunk.
When at the hotel, the pistol, unloaded, no ammunition present, would be stored in the case, in my hotel safe.

Am I good?

An Oregon high school teacher wants to be able to pack heat due to a restraining order against an ex-husband, who has allegedly made threats to her and her children.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20070918/ts_csm/aselfdefense

If I were a parent, I could see it a lot of ways. The teacher has a right to defend herself against her potentially violent ex-husband. The teacher also has a right to defend herself against potentially violent students (at least at the high school I attended). But I can also see the concern of students attempting to steal the pistol from her (although I acknowledge it’s not as likely if she has a license, and presuming that she would keep it on her at all times).

I mean, I can understand the school’s policy of not wanting ANYONE who isn’t a law enforcement officer to bring firearms on campus. But I also can’t say that if I were the teacher that I would entrust school security to respond appropriately to my safety or that of my children and students.

Thoughts?
pusherhombre:

Excellent point. It reminds me of the scene in "Dr. Strangelove" where the Doomsday Machine is supposed to deter a world war by destroying the planet, except nobody knows about it.
I am not familiar with concealed-carry licenses, but can I assume that anybody with said license knows how to properly use the weapon and has been determined to be of sound mind and judgment?

I don’t think the article pointed out what subject she teaches, but it might be a good opportunity for a civics lesson in the value of constitutional rights and as (hopefully, but we will see) an example that not all gun owners are dangerous.
Yes, I can see security guards with nonlethal weapons would be an ideal situation. But if I had a potentially violent ex, I would not take my chances.

And if my concern for my safety caused parents to pull their children from my classes, that is their right. And if poor enrollment and low funding caused my supervisors to terminate my position, that is their right. Just as it is my right to change schools or find a job that suits me better.
All great answers. I suppose I feel that the teacher should be given a leave of absence until this situation is dealt with appropriately, as in this case her personal life is absolutely affecting her ability to perform her job effectively if she feels threatened enough to want to bring a gun to a classroom.

Reassignment will only shift the threat to another school or district, and her ex-husband WILL find out easily. That can’t be the solution.

In a lot of ways, I agree that you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. Taking into account the hundreds of teachers I have known and the thousands of students I have know, I would MUCH rather that a teacher possess a gun than a student any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I own a full size 9mm, and I’m thinking of obtaining a pistol permit in order to carry concealed. Of course, carrying such a large weapon concealed would be a bit of a trick, so it’s probably going in my purse (which I’m way more protective over than the average woman).

I’ve got some pretty good reasons for carrying concealed and most of it stems from my long solo drives to/from scuba diving sites. I spend a lot of time on the road, at all hours of the day and night, and I’d feel better with a means to defend myself.

My big question is to all the various police officers out there: If I am carrying concealed, and I get pulled over for some odd reason, what do you expect from me? Would you want to know immediately that I carry a firearm? How would you expect me to behave? (i.e. both hands on the steering wheel, keys out of the ignition,etc).

Basically, I don’t want some freaked out cop drawing down on me because he saw the butt of my pistol as I rummaged for my driver’s licenses.

Thanks in advance for your help!

if anyone can tell me if i am breaking any laws by carrying my gun in my (outside) hip holster(open carry) with a loaded magazine WITH-OUT(not loaded) a bullet in the camber when i am traveling in my car. IS THAT DEFINED AS "IN PLAIN VIEW"?
Help me understand this part of the law…

As a juvenile, I plead guilty to a 4th degree assault (non domestic) and part of the plea bargain either said that I give up my rights to purchase a firearm, or I give up my rights to purchase a concealed pistol permit. I can’t recall which one it was. The prosecutor told me that if I wanted my rights restored, I’d have to go back to court as an adult. I’m 21 now, and I’ve had my record sealed. I’ve applied to purchase a handgun, and I was qualified. I was also qualified to purchase a concealed pistol permit as well.
I asked the police department about how my rights were taken away, and they said since my record is sealed, they can’t access my record to see that info, however I’ve read that having your record sealed doesn’t restore your rights, necessarily, so I’m a bit confused. How does having my record sealed not restore my rights, but the police said since my record is sealed, they can’t see any prohibiters that would prevent me from getting the gun or permit?

I want to own a rifle, possibly a pistol, but where do I go to apply for a license? I believe in the second amendment in our Constitution, and I’ve been an admirer of weapons and warfare for a long time (history freak), but I don’t know what the process is for obtaining a firearm.
