'No Excuse' for Leaving Gun in High School Locker Room, Sheriff Says
(SHEPHERD, Mich.) - A county sheriff apologized Tuesday for accidentally leaving his backup gun in a Michigan school gym locker room.
Isabella County Sheriff Michael Main said his mistake is inexcusable.
Main said he used the locker room at Shepherd Middle School to change from street clothes into uniform for an event at the weekend. Main said he believed the gun — his backup weapon — was in his bag when he left. A student later found the gun and told an adult, according to Main

Main told the Morning Sun of Mount Pleasant that Isabella County deputies are permitted to carry guns while off-duty. He said deputies are not subject to gun-free zone requirements at schools because they are not carrying under concealed pistol license requirements.
“He is human and he made a mistake,” Bunker said of Main, adding that she is extremely proud of the student who brought the gun to the attention of a staff member.
Well, I've seen this sort of thing happen before. But soon we won't have to worry about this sort of thing happening, because soon teachers will be bring their guns to school. And unlike experienced law enforcement personnel, the majority of teachers ane not human-- so they won't make mistakes.
And unlike law enforcement personnel, since teachers won't do stupid things like leaving their loaded guns around-- when teachers have guns we can be sure our students will be safe!!
