He’s 18, a man, a student, and wants to protect himself.
This will open up a can of worms.
A Maryland teen reportedly told cops he took a firearm to school for protection from mass shooters, according to court documents. Montgomery County Police arrested 18-year-old high school student Alwin Chen on Feb. 15 and charged him with bringing a loaded gun to Clarksburg High School outside Washington. According to prosecutors, Chen told police that he routinely attended the school with a loaded gun concealed on his person because he was afraid of a mass shooting incident. According to the Washington Post, prosecutors called Chen a public risk, citing among other things his ability to build a gun from parts he bought on the internet, and asked a judge that he not be granted bond. Chen was arrested following a student tip a day after the massacre in Parkland, Florida, left 17 dead at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Per Fox DC, Chen is an honors student whose fellow runners on the cross country team said he likely did not come to school armed with the intention to harm others.
Ask that little smug bastard Hoggwan Shriek Leftfreak what the solution is. He’s all-knowing.
He got caught, he pays the price, simple.

Someone has to be on the front lines……….too bad he didnt live in Broward.
Watch out for in active shooters too
Well, if mommy and daddy have some money, or a top notch law firm wants to make a name for themselves, I think there’s a case to be made. It would be epic.
Good thing he never had to use it in self defense….. Maryland really frowns on that!

GOOD excuse, but NOT legal yet, sad to say…
The right to protect your self is inalienable. And the Government has done a pretty good job proving they can’t do it.
Can’t say I blame the kid. The law denies you the right of defense in school. And listen to some of the media fed morons here.
Meanwhile, a filing from the prosecution pointed to a 2017 entry in Chen’s journal in which he reportedly said he “might start doing some vigilante operations” in order “to hit evil people.”
This, my friends, is why you don’t write stuff down; the State will ALWAYS take it the wrong way.
Unless you really ARE a bad guy – then, they’ll excuse you all day long.
Yes, I understand his stated reason. It was still stupid. And what happens when it’s a kid that really did want to do harm?
Wait, in Maryland, land of the gun NAZIs? I know, let’s make another law to keep kids like him from getting guns! Yea, that’ll do it.
