Residents speak out on openly carrying firearms
Unless someone starts to waive their gun in the air or jokingly shoots blanks, eighth-grader Isaac Richardson doesn't see a problem with gun owners openly carrying firearms in schools.
In fact, he is in full support of the Second Amendment and everything it stands for.
"People's Second Amendment right shouldn't be taken away from them," said Richardson, who attends Parker Middle School.
While there are many gun advocates out there who would agree with Richardson, there are still many who believe guns have no business in a gun-free zone.
Jim Vichich is one of those believers.
"I find it sadly ironic that there is a double standard regarding the open carry law, and it is obvious the legislators in Lansing value themselves much higher than our children and adults within our schools," said Vichich, a former teacher and Brighton resident.
The double standard Vichich is referring to "where it is legal for an adult with a CPL to open carry guns into schools where there are minimally 700 children, no police presence and no trained, armed security at the entry doors."
However, he said "for the safety of the adult lawmakers within their kindom," it is illegal to open carry guns with a CPL into the Capitol building in Lansing, which is occupied by armed , Capitol police monitoring the doors.
