BECKER, Minn. - Police in Becker are investigating an incident where a gun allegedly fell out of a volunteers pocket on the school playground.

Parents were alterted to what happened in a letter that was sent and emailed out by Superintendant Dr. Stephen Malone Thursday. It describes how the grandparent of an elementary school student was volunteering for the School Readiness Program when he tripped on the playground. A number of items fell out of the man's pocket, including what appeared to be a gun.

Witnesses say that person then put the item back in his pocket without further incident.

Malone says the man has been issued a trespass notice that states he is subject to arrest if he returns to school district property.

1. 2A does not prohibit concealed carry at schools you know :-) nt

2. Volunteer and do good for the community, but have a proper holster.

Poor old timer....sad to see someone that actually cares enough to volunteer and carry have these kind of problems. It shouldn't have come to this a nice 40 dollar holster could have saved this embarrassment.

3. What kind of gun was it?

Pistol, Revolver, Cell phone, lighter, car keys, wallet, Albuterol inhaler?

There are some key words you need to read in the article... "including what appeared to be a gun."

4. And... nothing happened.

Granted, it's not GOOD that the gun fell out of his pocket. But he didn't feel the need to kill anybody over his grandchild's grades, or to gun down the school bully, or anything.

6. It may not have been a gun at all.

key words: "alleged" and "appeared to be"

5. Your daily google news search produces very little useful information. Try harder!

8. Time for another news dump concerning (maybe) a gun, oh the horrors

"A number of items fell out of the man's pocket, including what APPEARD to be a gun."

So it appeared to be a gun but he wasn't charged, wasn't even arrested.

So if it was a keyboard and concerning the 1A it would be

just another creep with a keyboard at school, or on the internet, writing a blog...

10. Gotta love that stock image used as the gun illistration.

There is so few facts in that story that it is not worth the electrons needed to transfer it.
