Student may face felony charge over unloaded BB gun
By CHRISTINE REID
Scripps Howard News Service

BROOMFIELD, Colo. - A 16-year-old high school student may be charged with a
felony after school officials found an unloaded BB gun in his car.

The student, a sophomore at Legacy High School, was released to his parents
after the gun was found Wednesday under the seat of his car parked at Legacy
the school.

The BB gun was discovered shortly after 9 a.m. when the boy parked his car
in a lot not designated for student parking, police reported. An adult
monitor at the school told the student to report to the office and then
searched his car without his permission, according to reports. She reported
finding what she thought was a real handgun to police. It turned out to be
an unloaded BB gun.

The student told authorities he used it to target shoot at cans and had
forgotten it was in his car.

Prosecutors informed police the charge was a felony and the student must
appear in juvenile court.

"It is a deadly weapon by definition," said Adams County District Attorney
Bob Grant.

Punishments that could be levied against the student range from several
years in a locked-down juvenile corrections facility to a deferred sentence
with probation.

The school official who found the gun was within her legal limits to search
the student's car without permission, said Susan Carlson, director of public
affairs for Adams 12 Five Star Schools.

"Cars parked on school parking lots are treated as a locker in terms of
search and seizure," she said.

District policy allows for that type of search when there is "reasonable
suspicion" that something not allowed on school grounds is contained inside.
Carlson was unsure what circumstances led the Legacy official to become
suspicious.

The student also faces disciplinary action by school officials. According to
Adams district policy the infraction is grounds for exclusion, which could
mean either suspension or expulsion.

Thank goodness he didn't draw a picture of it in art class.
That would REALLY get him in trouble.

Well, there's an interesting distinction: ->IF he had used it in a
crime ...

Maybe we could apply that criterion in general: wait 'til somebody
commits an actual crime, rather than arresting people based on what
you think they ->might do.

Absolutely revolutionary!

I may be mistaken on this, but a convicted felon loses his right to vote,
correct?
If so, this is a pretty lousy reason to take away someone's right to vote.

Depends on the state but generally correct. He would also lose forever the
ability to purchase and own firearms, among other things. Forget military
service, forget getting a security clearance. Forget any employment
opportunity that requires bonding. Second-class citizenship forever.

If he was going for any scholarships or education assistance, they just went
down the shitter, too. Not that it matters -- he'll be going to college in
prison anyway.

Life really sucks for him right now. He's got few hopes.

>This country is really going the crapper fast.

Fact is why was he hiding it unlocked under the seat of his unlocked car and
not in a locked case i nthe trunk if he had it for legit reasons ?

Rob you're getting completely out of control. A bb gun is not a lethal
weapon. It wasn't used in a crime and if it was loaded or unloaded makes
no difference. The proof - did the acticle say he was being charged with
having a concealed weapon? The official that searched the vehicle
clearly didn't have that right. The only thing that the kid did was park
his car in the wrong spot. The police and school board are telling him
right now the correct words to use to justify the search. The fellow
would have been in less trouble getting back in his car and hitting the
"official" as he drove away. The owner of the vehicle has the "right" to
lock the car or leave it unlocked down here, but you know that.

a bb gun can kill someone ... at 500fps a .177 pellet has about 12ft lbs
muzzle energy, at a short distance, that pellet has sufficient energy to
pierce clothing and tissue

why did the official search the car? perhaps he saw the gun and went in for
a closer look ... it is perfectly legal to do a non invasive search of
private property

A board, a shirt, a car: these are all lethal weapons. Hands are lethal,
pencils are lethal. It is stupid to make carrying a lethal weapon illegal; it
makes far more sense to make violence against someone without their consent
illegal. And what do you know, it already is!

This country is law-happy, and it is causing us trouble. Laws are always
enforced by threat of deadly force.

Rob, go to the chalkboard and write, "I am a fucking Moron." 500
times and then get back to us!

Most kids get their first BB gun at the age of 7 or 8 in this
country. A person could do a LOT more damage with a Bow and Arrow, and
those are not even considered to be dangerous weapons. They TEACH
Archery in most of the Public Schools in this area!

And a "Friking BB Gun" needs the same type of paperwork as any
handgun in order to purchase, here in the land o' NJ anyway.
Same with a sling shot...just about.

The point being though is that a bb gun is a weapon by nature and thereby it
makes sense to consider it a lethal one.

but it is far easier to hurt or kill someone with a bb gun than with a bow
... lets just face the fact that a pistol was designed to be concealable ...
and btw ... bows are weapons too ...

they teach archery and marksmanship in some schools up here too. But it
appears to me that this kid did not take the teachings to heart. He is 16
carrying a bb gun in his car ... what next 21 and carrying a glock?

Change of plan, Rob, write (I am a Fucking Moron) 1,000 times instead
of 500!

Kindly point out any part of that article which stated that the BB
Gun was capable of firing a .177 pellet. You are aware of the fact
that there IS a difference between a BB Gun and a Pellet Gun that will
also fire a BB.

So far you have the kid up on Felony Criminal Charges because he
MIGHT do something wrong with a TOY!

YOU, and your insanity, are more dangerous than that kid's BB gun
ever though about being!

regardless of pellet or bb .. .a bb will do the same damage ...

the difference (to let you know) is the distance between lands and grooves
(deeper for pellets) the loading (most bb guns have huge reserves) and the
accuracy (most bb guns out there do not have rifling, and in that are less
accurate than a pellet).

Also, most media do not distinguish the difference between bb and pellet and
group the lot together as bb gun

I don't think that is the point. I think the point is that he didn't use the
weapon on anyone, so it is no one's business that he had it. That he had it in
an unlocked car is another matter.

a bb gun is a weapon ... it is designed to kill ... period. It is not
accurate enough for target practice. It can kill. That makes it a lethal
weapon.

The same thing that would keep someone from stealing the radio from the
car, stealing the seats out of the car, stealing the wheels off the car,
perhaps stealing the entire car.

But what the HECK does any of that have to do with what we're talking about
here?

I'd rather do it this way ... simply because I dont want to invest too much
time into the post.

The difference being ... what if some kid decided to steal his gun (that was
for legit reasons of course) and use it in a crime? BEcause he did not lock
up that gun, he essentially supplied it to the kid that used it.

I have a Beretta Cougar in .40S&W, and a KSC Cougar in 6mm Airsoft.

The former is a fairly powerful semi-automatic pistol.

The latter is a gas-powered pellet gun. The 6mm plastic pellet won't
penetrate skin at point-blank range. (It stings less than a paint-gun).

I've had people hold one in each hand and not be able to tell them apart.

Well, if your point is that they can look identical? Yes, they can.

Can they confuse people? Yes, they can.

Is there some problem with having one in your car? No.

That it looks like a gun does not make it a gun.

Now, if you were to take it out and wave it around, and ended up shot
by a cop, I'd be among the first to excuse him.

But simply because you own one, and left it in your car?

That is not an indication of criminal, violent, or any sort of anti-social
behavior.

Not BB guns. They are not specifically designed to be used as weapons
and certainly not to kill. They are designed as toys.

Well a bb gun is different than a airsoft gun ... it can and has killed
people ... it is a weapon ... not a toy

at the very least ... he should have had it locked i nthe glove box ... that
way if in the least someone had snooped through his car it would not have
been in plain sight as it was

My glove box isn't big enough to hold a pistol. And for that matter,
it doesn't lock. Do you have evidence that his glove box would hold
the pistol? Or that it could be locked?

And he was driving a pickup. He didn't have a trunk.

What color is the sky in your world? BB guns are designed and marketed
as toys for children. If it were intended to be a lethal weapon, do you
really think you'd find them in the toy section of a department store?

There's a difference between something that CAN kill if misused and
something that is designed to kill.

No but it is still a weapon ... there is still a distinction between firearm
and airgun ...

He brought it on private property ... he left it visible in the car ... that

hiding a gun under the seat of his car leads one to believe he had it in the
car for other reasons ... under the seat tends to be quite dirty ... and
besides the gun would slide around quite a bit ... keeping it in a lockbox
of field locker is cheap and easy to safely store it.

I ain't no lawyer, but I think the charge should not stick.

According to Black's Law Dictionary, a Deadly Weapon is an
instrument capable of causing death or serious physical injury
when used as intended. A BB gun locked in a trunk, isn't
intended to cause much harm to anybody. Useless you can show the
defendent intended to beat somebody to death with it.

In contrast, a Deadly Weapon per se is a instructment capable of
causing death as ordinarily used, i.e. a gun.

My car is carpetted under the seats - things don't slide unless I drive

Lockbox, field locker, how much effort do you expect him to use to
"secure" a toy that may have cost him less than $20?

I dont agree with it either ... but when ya get a large numnber of people
picking up replica guns legally and using em in a crime (a year or so a go a
guy used one to try to convince doctors in a toronto hospital to let his kid
in fast ... and cops ended up shooting him dead when he pointed his "toy" at
them) then why not register em so people will have to be responsible for
their actions
