Zero Tolerance gone too far again??

[Chevrolaine]

They'd have never known there was a firearm in her closed and locked trunk, if she hadn't turned herself in.

Zero tolerence = zero brains.

There are dogs that can sniff out gun powder residue also. Not sure if the one they were using could but it is possible.

if she took a hunter safety class then she should have known better to leave it in the trunk and should have cleaned and put the gun up.when we were kids hunting with my step dad,after cleaning your game ,you would clean your gun and store it in a safe place.diff.times.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Yes, she should have not said a thing, got in her car, drove home, put the gun away, called her mom & dad to tell them a cover stroy (and why she was at home), and returned to school. If she were confronted as to why she left the school grounds, she could have said she had a personal emergency at home.

I typically clean mine as soon as I'm done using it before I even leave to go home. My guns don't even make it to the car when I go to the range without getting cleaned. When I go hunting I always clean my weapons as soon as we finish cleaning whatever we shot. And since it's almost always at a friend's house (since I don't have land of my own to hunt on) it gets cleaned there before I even think about going home. So it's very possible that she cleaned it before she came home. Most people teach to clean it asap after using it. Not to mention it was unloaded and fully cased too in accordance with federal law to transporting a weapon (for those who don't have a carry permit or are traveling through a state that doesn't recognize your permit or even have permits).
