I hope they can reach a justifiable resolution to this situation.
Seems like a good SC student and team player. He put himself in a bad situation.
Depends on the circumstance and the judge.
If it is justified, I hope he gets probation and a couple hundred hours of community service in Pickens County.
If drugs or violence are involved, throw the book 📚 at him.
On game day, how many fans have a gun locked in their vehicle on campus for the late night drive home?
What a downer after that great finish against Miami last night.
Go Tigers

Just an Eagle Scout with a couple of Clemson Degrees, and a Concealed Carry License.
Scout motto: ‘Be Prepared’.
Psycho IPTAY supporter.
Just having a gun doesn’t make someone a criminal.
Committing crimes makes someone a criminal.
If the gun was in his trunk, unloaded, it doesn’t sound criminal.
Sounds like a violation of the law.
Probation and community service would be appropriate for a good student.
I hope it works out for him.

Then by definition you're a criminal. However, not all crimes are the same and it doesn't make him a bad person. I understand only wanting law enforcement to be able to carry a firearm on school grounds, but if someone is looking to hurt people I don't this law is gonna deter them.

Innocent person. However there are numerous examples where a CWO has stepped up in a violent crime situation and saved innocent victims. These are facts. You can look them up if you don’t believe me. Me telling you my sources or asserting it probably won’t convince you, so I invite you to do your own research. You will see that CWOs are good guys. Now they are not the only good guys, but the fact that they have undergone the scrutiny and checks in order to get a CWO permit is proving to be a great indicator that they indeed are trustworthy gun owners who should be welcomed everywhere with their weapon. They are akin to an under cover cop essentially.

I'm against the idealogy that ONLY answer to staying safe is that more people should carry a gun.
For a myriad of reasons there are people in this nation that don't feel safe owning a gun. Much less, carrying one around all the time waiting for something to happen.

Need to do a little more research. Search on how many times concealed carry permit holders discharge their weapons in a year. Then look at what fraction of those shootings have a spouse or other family member as victim. It’s around a third.

Police officers are trained, and have continuing training
Feb 15, 2024, 8:24 PM
|
|
while they are employed. Many Police officers also have military training as a background as well. Even then, there are plenty of examples where cops make mistakes too.
The average person does not go through any where remotely close to such extensive training.
But the other question that should be asked is: why should the answer be to make a segment of people do something that they don't want to do?

Because the gun criminal does not obey the law and they know it is a risk free zone to do whatever they want. We need more CWOs with their guns everywhere so that when a violent criminal goes on a rampage, we can crowd source the neutralization of him in less than 5 seconds.

Agreed. They don’t understand that we have to know the laws inside and out. I have a safe bolted to my interior of my truck. Even as a college student I carry up until the moment I am about to step out of the vehicle. Per state law, I secure the firearm in the locked safe. Concealed permit holders are always concerned with following the law. This is why we are able to keep a CFP (concealed firearm permit). We carry and will only use the firearm to save life. We do not carry to take life. To qualify you must be a law abiding citizen with no criminal or domestic violence charges.
Criminals are the ones who you have to worry about. They don’t care about the law and place little value on human life. All life is precious. Blaming the gun on violence is like blaming a fork for making you fat. The problem is what’s inside the person and not the tool they use. Criminals will illegally purchase a firearm in some dark alley. No amount of legislation will keep firearms out of criminals hands. Why? Because they do not respect laws. Gun control only makes it harder for law abiding citizens to purchase a gun. According to the Bureau of Criminal Statistics, concealed carry owners have never committed a mass shooting. The majority of those who commit these heinous crimes illegally obtain a firearm.

I've never heard of a CWP holder commiting a gun crime with a CW.

[ in reply to Re: Are you scared of a CWP holder having a gun ? ] |

I remember reading an exhaustive nationwide study about this a few years ago. There have been a few cases where CWP holders committed gun crimes with rifles or with handguns within their own homes (in which case their CWP was irrelevant), but not with a concealed weapon outside the house. There have been many cases where CWP holders have saved lives outside their homes by stopping shooters who didn't have CWPs (including at college campuses). For example, IIRC, a CWP holding woman in SC stopped a guy who was shooting up a party. And a CWP holding man (in Minnesota?) stopped a rifle-wielding gunman at a mall, probably saving many lives.
CWP holders commit far less crimes than the average citizen, so I'd feel perfectly safe in a room full of CWP holders. Utah has constitutional carry and, IIRC, the highest carry-rate in the nation (at ~25%) but they have one of the lowest gun homicide rates in the country.

Untrue. Most citizens commit no crimes. The vast majority of CWP holders commit crimes on a weekly or monthly basis, if you include carrying a weapon where prohibited.

under 100. I am more afraid of those folks than the common criminal. I mean the fact that a grown man feels the need to carry a fire arm at all times tells me just how secure in himself he is, then, of course, the fantasy that you all are going to solve and prevent crimes is adorable, trained law enforcement is barely capable of this. You all would be shooting the wrong people left and right, you know, cause IQ under 100 and insecure and afraid.

the chances of being involved in a mass shooting are monumentally elcipsed by the probability of being shot by a person your know, or by your own gun. Just looking at the statistics, most intentional shootings are crimes of passion, not random acts of violence, so handing eveyone a gun is kinda silly being that a good portion of our population lacks the emotional maturity and impulse control to reposibly hold a conceiled carry permit. The bottom line is that more guns doe not make us safer, it is wquite the opposite. You have to factor human stupidty into the equation before youy make any assumptios here.

Re: How many innocent people have been shot by CWP carriers?

[ in reply to that is utter lunacy, especially considering half the population has an IQ ] |

I haven't heard of any, maybe there have been instances of such, I don't know. If you've heard of such, does it compare to how many innocent people have been murdered by convicted felons? And the idea of a CWP isn't to solve crime, it's for self protection. And the idea that you are more afraid of a responsible citizen, CWP or not, than you are of a criminal carrying a weapon, may not be utter lunacy, or adorable, but it doesn't make a lot of sense. By the way, I don't have a CWP, but I'm not against the idea. When it comes to facing a gun or a knife, in the hands of someone, that doesn't give a rats ### whether he takes your life or leaves you in critical condition, I'd be willing to bet for all your superior intellect, and courage, that you would become very insecure in your ability to defend yourself.

Around one third of people shot by CWP holders are a spouse or other family member. More than half are is the CWP holders themselves. A small fraction are criminals. When that actually happens, it makes the big news.

Oh and he consented to the car being searched. And supposedly it was not loaded, so perhaps he forgot it was there. Or, maybe he went to a gun range recently and the gun slipped out the range bag and slid under something and when he carried the range bag inside thought he had put it away. Who knows

The police still aren't sure exactly what happened, who was involved, and why the shooting occurred. There would have been even more confusion, and possibly even more victims, if a bunch of "good guys" pulled their guns out and started blasting.

Had a gun in my vehicle plenty of times on campus. Came back from hunting to go to class. These laws are kind of ridiculous in certain contexts. I think intent has to be figured into the punishment. As well as if you own the gun legally.

I am a little curious why the traffic stop continued with a search of his vehicle. That may be the issue that leads this case to a pretrial intervention or settlement.

Worked for a guy who was a retired officer while in HS. He gave me some great advice- never consent to a vehicle search.. you can politely decline and save yourself the time and hassle. Usually the officer is just fishing for an excuse to ‘find something’. Obviously, details are lacking, and we are short on context in this situation, but while I was in college this advice worked out well for me and I was able to avoid unnecessary additional pain beyond a traffic violation.

Forget about football, this is a young man honored for his academic success and he might just have ruined his future. Capehart is not an NFL talent but should be a college graduate that has a bright future in whatever field he goes into. Very sad situation.

it’s a stupid law
not only can you possess but actually carry on some campuses in this nation

tacky laws being used to shakedown folks is the problem in this country now days. We have real criminals and law breakers entering this country illegally and the authorities give them a free pass and access to housing and tax payer $$, yet we are persecuting a guy for having an unloaded gun in his trunk. ###??? This country has turned into Alice in Wonderland!

Relax. He will get probation and community service provided something worse did not happened here. The truth should set him free. It will play out in court.

He will not get probation. You get probation for felonies. He will get a fine at the most. This is a light misdemeanor.

Sounds like a bogus stop to begin with? This is exactly why people hate cops. They take a good kid, I think, idk him, and give him the ninth and arrest him. Power hungry cop. Probably a bully too. I have cop friends and respect officiers, but this really tries my religion.

A CWP allows carry on school premises

Feb 15, 2024, 9:17 AM

Assuming he hadn’t taken that important step.
The law says: “The provisions of this subsection related to any premises or property owned, operated, or controlled by a private or public school, college, university, technical college, or other post-secondary institution, do not apply to a person who is authorized to carry a concealed weapon pursuant to Article 4, Chapter 31, Title 23 when the weapon remains inside an attended or locked motor vehicle and is secured in a closed glove compartment, closed console, closed trunk, or in a closed container secured by an integral fastener and transported in the luggage compartment of the vehicle.”
If you have a CWP, carry on.

That’s gross misinterpretation of the law. It allows for the weapon to be locked in a locker or safe bolted or chained inside the vehicle. Not the ability to carry on campus. South Carolina is very clear on this issue. If you reread the law you posted, that is the crux of the section. Secured firearm in the vehicle. Carrying on campus is not legal in North or South Carolina.

What did I misinterpret? I quoted the law…which says nothing about “chain.” LOL. You can have a gun on any campus if you have a CWP. It just has to be in a closed compartment of the vehicle. Leave the chains and locks for your bedroom.

That is the way my CWP instructor explained it. He said while on campus, you cannot have it on your person, but it has to be in a glove box, console or in the luggage compartment in a container with an integral lock. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me that it has to be in a container in the luggage compartment but can be in the glove box or console without being in a container. I think they keep these laws confusing intentionally so they can have loopholes to hang their hats on if they want to stop someone.

Feb 16, 2024, 8:13 PM

the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" (typed from memory, thank you very much). A "well regulated militia" is not any moron being able to have as many guns as they can afford or carry them anywhere they please. For the latter, see the public safety exemption to the First Amendment (you can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater). If there are limits on free speech, there are limits to any other right too. Besides, until the 1960s the courts routinely interpreted the Second Amendment to apply to the states' right to have militias, not individual gun ownership. That's a very recent development due to the persistent lobbying of the gun lobby and right wing activist judges. Yes, that's a "conservative" thing too. Full disclosure, I am a gun owner, just not a gun nut. If I ever feel like I need to carry a gun at all times for protection, it's time to move.

Wrong. Reread what you recited..."the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Every moron or not, (who decides that by the way?) if they're a citizen, has the right to keep and bear arms.
The statement "a well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state" is an explanation for the right that is about to be stated. It is not meant as a limitation of the right.
"If I ever feel like I need to carry a gun at all times for protection, it's time to move." Your "feeling" safe is irrelevant. The fact is, you aren't safe with or without a gun, but you have the right to carry one regardless. My point: idgaflip about anyone's feeling as a test of my rights.

Doesn't have a CWP. Either way part of being a responsible gun owner is knowing the law and following it. I'm not saying throw the guy in jail but there has to be some penalty for breaking the law. The good thing about our legal system is that the judge has some leeway in assessing the penalty and he or she can determine if his action was just careless or more serious.

Not good. But, cops go absolutely crazy when they find a gun in a car after you are stopped. You automatically become a terrorist in their eyes. I actually think littering should require a stiffer sentence since nobody is going to throw their gun out of their window while driving down the road.

If the gun was in his trunk and unloaded, I hope they can resolve this lightly, i.e. maybe a misdemeanor.

All gun laws are for good,law abiding folks -- and sometimes we get caught for minor rule violations and pay the fine / price,because they write the gun laws,like an insurance policy reads ( confuse**** ) -- never saw a crook give a dang about the gun laws or pay a fine for killing a bunch of folks - I will have my guns near me as much as possible and "PRAY" everyday,I will never have to use it against another human being. I remember the 1988 school shooting at Oakland Elementary in Greenwood,South Carolina -- maybe if trained teachers would have had CWP/gun protection, innocent children would have been saved ?? A friend of mine and teacher "Kat Finkbeiner ,jumped him and was shot twice,once in the jaw,but he still killed two more 8 year old children and wounded five,before being apprehended.
Guns are not the problem or the answer -- I don't know if anyone knows ??? , but I think everyone has a right to defend themself and family from the ""Bad Guys""

There are far too many of them in this country. Too many guns, too many idiots. We are an outlier in terms of guns per person and gun deaths. 120.5 guns per capita (No. 1 by far). Only No. 2 in gun deaths (thanks Brazil). By the way, guns deaths (murders, suicides, and accidents) are clustered in the South and West where there are less restrictions. Coincidence, I don't think so. While I support the right of everyone to protect their home/family/person/property, hunt, or target shoot, no one but the cops needs to carrying around guns all the time. If I ever feel like I need to carry at all times to feel safe, then it's time for me to move. I'm a gun owner too before you accuse me of being anti-gun.

If the firearm is secured in a vehicle on the premises then it’s not unlawful. Unless, I’m merely reading the statute incorrectly. One question I have is why they searched his vehicle in the first place if he wasn’t suspected of committing a crime. A traffic stop does not give cause to articulate reasonable suspicion to search a vehicle. Then again, we don’t know all of the details. However, if Demonte Capehart had his personal firearm locked away in the glovebox or center console then he was within the lawful guidelines of S.C. Code.

Hopefully the issue will blow over quickly. I'm not really sure how they're defining possession here but if in the car is possession then tens of thousands violate that statute on football Saturdays.

Well, according to some sources close to the situation, Demonte Capehart did not own the firearm, but it actually belonged to someone else. Further, the firearm was allegedly secured in a glove compartment or center console, thus the State of South Carolina has no viable cause of action to bring against the young man. Possession of a firearm is unlawful on school grounds whenever it is on your persons. However, the exception to the statute is provided where the firearm is secured in a vehicle.
