[quote="Short Hand":cfb59]no thats the fucking law. No assuming within the logic. your drunk, your in a car.You plan on driving. You put a gun in your backpack, you plan on doing something with it.[/quote:cfb59]
You just assumed i was going to drive. Can you read my mind? Perhaps i just got home, im just sitting in my car cause im to drunk to stagger in. You didnt catch me on the road, nothing says you should be able to bust me sitting in my driveway. Burdon of proof would be a bitch on this one.
"well we stopped the subject while he was drinking in his car in his driveway... he was going to go somewhere i could feel it" "i could see the keys in his pocket with my X-ray vision."
Maybe im installing a new stereo and its being a bitch so im having a beer to calm myself down before ripping hte deck out of the car the hard way. Far to many variables to play this one.

Your in the process of driving and commiting the offence are you not ? Yes. unless you plan on telling a judge you enjoy getting wasted in your van. Which the judge would never buy. Just like saying this kid planned on only putting it in his back pack but never going to school with it. Duh.[/quote:1a95f]
I dont think you even believe yourself, IF I am sitting in my van, drunk, in my driveway what leads you to believe that I may drive? You say "Your in the process of driving and commiting the offence are you not ?" no I am not I am sitting, watching the clouds float by. Rethink your stance on this, if you come up with the same conclusion then drowned yourself.
The kid is guilty of theft, thats it

Most states laws (at least KS and MO) are written so if your drunk, inside your car and you have access to the keys to that car, you are drunk driving. I know a bunch of people that got it.

I love this part... "Everyone -- including the grandfather -- agreed Wednesday that the good thing is no one got hurt."
HAW HAW!!! Just to let the reader know that the grandfather isn't sitting at home saying, "Dagnabit! I was hoping someone would get hurt!!!"

That would be pretty sad if you plan on sitting getting wasted in your car to chill there, get a fucking clue old man. You drink, your in your car, bam. You put a gun in your school napsack. bam. simple as that.

The boy had received another electronic-game toy and traded it away, his grandfather said.
Sharon, an aircraft tool builder, said his grandson is "very smart" and makes excellent grades.
Still, Sharon said, the boy doesn't yet fully understand the trouble he's in now.
anyone else pick up on the quotations arounf the words very smart?
lol
point proved.

I'm sure you could get away easy if you appealed that. You would where I'm from...
.....Regardless that's a tragic tale of sleep trickery, ktog.

The joys of married life! I've sat in my car with a buddy driinkin' a few brews, listening to the Braves, just to get out of the house. If I had a radio on my deck I might drink there instead, but I don't.

all I am trying to say is the kid should be charged with the proper crimes. This will be on his record for life and a weapons charge from a school will come back to haunt him. It isnt fair to the kid, he is a theif not a Columbine type offender.

Short Hand is right...if you're in your car and have keys on you while drunk...even if you have no intent of driving and ar ejustt aking a nap or something, you can be aressted for that. The kid had a gun in his backpack...which shows some intention at least.
No guns = no suspension...kid and his grandfather deserve it.
