Re: ARRESTED: Open carrier on school grounds
They could have made a mere encounter. They could have watched him. They could have educated him. They didn't have to arrest him. I am a COP!
PA CC.
§ 912. Possession of weapon on school property.
(a) Definition.--Notwithstanding the definition of "weapon"
in section 907 (relating to possessing instruments of crime),
"weapon" for purposes of this section shall include but not be
limited to any knife, cutting instrument, cutting tool, nun-
chuck stick, firearm, shotgun, rifle and any other tool,
instrument or implement capable of inflicting serious bodily
injury.
(b) Offense defined.--A person commits a misdemeanor of the
first degree if he possesses a weapon in the buildings of, on
the grounds of, or in any conveyance providing transportation to
or from any elementary or secondary publicly-funded educational
institution, any elementary or secondary private school licensed
by the Department of Education or any elementary or secondary
parochial school.
(c) Defense.--It shall be a defense that the weapon is
possessed and used in conjunction with a lawful supervised
school activity or course or is possessed for other lawful
purpose.
Section C IMO is the Trump card. With a LTCF self defense is a lawful purpose. I would not arrest this man, under these circumstances.Aggies Coach Really ??? Take off the tin foil bro.

Re: ARRESTED: Open carrier on school grounds
I don't know about this town, but where I live, the acreage occupied by schools is a significant percentage of the entire borough. It's easy to walk across school property when traveling on foot, harder to always walk around them, and really difficult to avoid the Federal limits from school property.

Re: ARRESTED: Open carrier on school grounds
Correct. Which is why I've stated in other threads that you are best off avoiding carrying on school property, or at least carry concealed so not to put yourself in that position.
What may hang this guy out to dry is if he had a defensible purpose to be on the school property with a firearm. Sure, self defense is an arguable purpose to possess. But what purpose did he have on the school grounds? If this guy gets run through the system, it may come down to having lawful purpose for BOTH.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Re: ARRESTED: Open carrier on school grounds
I live well within 1000 feet of a school, I can't walk a block to the convenience store without walking through a disarmament zone.
I oc usually, so every time I walk my dogs or go for a soda, I'm violating the law. Never had a prob, and the local convenience store is also the police hangout.Go sell crazy some where else, we're all stocked up here.

Re: ARRESTED: Open carrier on school grounds
This is what Knight0334 was referencing and probably wrote . Within 1000ft of a school unless you have a license/permit issued by the state in which the school is located - US Title 18, Part I, Chapter 44, Subsection 922(.... i copied and pasted from the flyer. where you can and cannot carry.

Re: ARRESTED: Open carrier on school grounds
As I see it, if he had “self defense” on his LTCF, assuming he had one, he should not have been arrested. I have no problem with the LEOs asking him a few questions and checking his license. Inconvenient but not a denial of rights. I think there might be facts we do not know. That is often the case with such reports.
