Carrying a gun around schools didn't work out quite as man hoped [View all]
http://www.katu.com/news/local/Carrying-a-gun-around-schools-didnt-work-out-quite-as-man-hoped-224634911.htmlHILLSBORO, Ore. – Sometimes, a point is best left unmade.
Even the man who caused a scare at four Hillsboro schools on Thursday admits carrying a gun around in the neighborhood probably wasn’t a great idea.
The man said he was trying to make several points about guns when he walked around the outskirts of Century High School and three other schools, causing a panic and an immediate change in policy.
On Friday, the man – who asked that his name not be used – told KATU News his plan might have been misguided.
"It wasn't in my mind that I was really gonna terrify or scare anybody," he said. "It was just the route I usually take when I go run."
