An unfortunate story:
http://www.lex18.com/news/gunman-arrested-at-kentucky-state-university

Obvious this guy is a law breaker and deserves to go to jail. However, I don't agree with two of the charges:
1)"Carrying a concealed weapon"--obviously his gun wasn't concealed as he was waiving it around.
2)"Unlawful possession of a firearm on school property"--if this took place at a post-secondary institution, how is this a crime?

That being said, this guy does seem to be guilty of disorderly conduct, wanton endangerment, and probably a couple other charges.

One of the witnesses in the story said they saw him pull the gun out of his pocket so it was concealed before he started waving it around.

This guy needs to go to prison and he is giving law abiding citizens a bad reputation. I am pretty sure some anti-gun groups are jumping all over this one.:exclaim:
