Idaho Arms Teachers; Teacher Shoots Himself In Foot On First Week Of Classes

This summer, Idaho’s legislature voted to allow teachers to bring firearms into classrooms in an attempt to dissuade school shootings. It was less than a week into this school year and an Idaho professor already accidentally shot himself in the foot in front of his students. The law doesn’t appear to be making things safer.

According to police, students at Idaho State University got a terrifying surprise when their professor, who was legally allowed to carry a concealed weapon as per the new law, accidentally discharged his weapon while it was in his pocket. Thankfully, no students were injured. Unfortunately for the professor, the bullet traveled straight into his foot. He was taken to the hospital and later released.

Students speaking with KIDK3 said that while no one other than the hapless professor was injured, they were concerned that the university didn’t bother to evacuate the building or even alert other students that there had been a shooting. After all, ISU had actually set up a messaging service which was supposed to alert students and faculty of dangers on campus – it wasn’t activated in the incident.
