Getting divorced and needed to get the guns out of the house.....

"Obviously another horrific tragedy prevented. "

Is it Jump to Conclusions Day?

Bottom line, it is a law that no guns are allowed on the campus. He should have been arrested. The School has no other option than to fire him. There can not be any tolerance for forfeiture of the rules on weapons. Think of the consequences. Now, the rifle in his car, just makes for a better story. He made a big mistake. Ooops.

Ok, lets not go code blue here. There apparently is no reason to assume the guy was about to go postal. It is more likely he was trying to get some of his more expensive possessions out of the house and away from his wife so she would not take them in the divorce. Been there myself and you don't always make the best decisions. When I was in school at State in the early 60s students having firearms in their rooms was not an unusual thing. I know several guys who kept their hunting rifles in their dorm rooms as their homes were hours away and the went hunting on the weekends. I bought at least 2 firearms from a guy who dealt them out of a footlocker in his dorm room. No one had ever heard of a mass shooting then and the presence of guns was a given. A question: I have a concealed carry permit and occasionally have a firearm with me. If I cut across State campus from Western Blvd to Hillsborough St going to my Daughters place near cameron village am I subject to being arrested?

actually, he may have just been trying to hide some community property from the soon to be ex and he hid his guns at his workplace for lack of another space-guns are valuable-it doesn't say who tipped off the police-

"Obviously another horrific tragedy prevented. "

You came up with this conclusion all by yourself? The only thing he was doing was storing the guns in his locker. The coworkers interviewed all said he is a great guy. Nothing in the police investigation suggests any foul play or intent on his part. Yet you with your Nostradamus abilities concluded a horrific tragedy was prevented. What a crock!

Regardless of why he had the guns, your workplace is not the place to store or house weapons. There is no excuse for that. It sounds like he may have been getting ready to try something that was not right. He definitely did not use good judgment here at all. In that case, something bad was likely prevented here.

Excellent work on the part of all involved. Obviously another horrific tragedy prevented. It is better to err on the side of caution. Rules are pretty easy to follow if you want to keep your job. This guy was a ticking time bomb if he had guns at work.

I completely agree with the comments of computer trainer! spot on!
