Drunk too. Let me be the first to use the word DUMBASS.

He was carrying a "9mm Jimenez Arms handgun." I support firearms diversity but I've never heard of Jimenez. No, the perp's first name is not Jose.

Davenport man charged with possessing gun on school property

A Davenport man was arrested Thursday night after police say he possessed a gun while in the parking lot of Davenport West High School.

Todd Michael White, 41, last known address in the 3800 block of West Central Park Avenue, faces one count of carrying weapons on school grounds, a Class D felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

He was booked into the Scott County Jail at 10:08 p.m. Thursday and was released a little more than an hour later after paying $5,000 through a bail bond company. A preliminary hearing is scheduled Oct. 19.

Davenport police responded about 8:35 p.m. Thursday to West High School, 3505 W. Locust St., for a disturbance.

Officers learned that a man had displayed a gun and left in a Mercury SUV, according to an arrest affidavit filed in support of the criminal complaint.

According to the affidavit, White was involved in a verbal altercation in the high school parking lot. During the argument, he removed his shirt, revealing a silver handgun in his waistband, according to the complaint.

White appeared to be intoxicated and had red, blood-shot, watery eyes, slurred speech, and unsteady gait and had an odor of alcohol that became stronger as he spoke, according to the affidavit.

He admitted to being present on school grounds while in possession of a 9mm Jimenez Arms handgun.

Although White has a valid concealed carry permit through Scott County, Iowa law prohibits firearms on school property.

The Iowa Department of Education says on its website that the only exceptions for having a firearm on school property is if the person is a peace officer, member of the armed forces or National Guard or correctional officer who is carrying the weapon in connection with his or her duties; the weapon is unloaded and inside a closed and fastened container; or the school has specifically authorized the person to bring the weapon onto school grounds for the purposes of conducting an instructional program regarding firearms.

Jimenez is one of the "Saturday night specials" like Bryco and Raven. Probably a step below a Hi-Point.

A GIANT step below. I was "gifted" a Jiminez .22 auto. After frigging with it for several days, I disassembled it into it's component parts, destroyed the important bits and scattered the remains in several dumpsters.

I went to High School (and below) in Eastern Iowa.
We took our guns to school all the time.
I would keep it my car so we could go hunting before and after school.
I think my brother kept his 22 rifle in his locker ~ he shot on the school team or intramurals or something like that.
Never was drunk though at school.

If you stuff a $100 bill down the barrel of a Jimenez you still don't have a pistol worth $100

what a chunk of crap, your better off throwing a rock at someone. We always joke at work about a Jimenez Elite pistol

The chrome ones are the prettiest...I only wish they had one that was gold plated ...

He has plenty of fail in several areas. Drunk with a CC gun for starters. Then we have the school grounds issue.

His choice of a handgun is another. There may be some driving involved too.

So his defense will be that a Jiminez is not really a gun?

Wow. Florida is pretty cool about guns on school property if you have a CCW. Has to stay in the car if you get out though. I think it's a misdemeanor if you forget to take it off. I don't take chances though.

Felony if you are not licensed.

there is a learning curve, frankly I am surprised there have not been a lot more of these problems.

I was thinking that it would have been a weekly occurrence

I hate these zone based laws. Stupid, like gun laws in general.

Charge someone for an actual crime, not just for carrying something around.
