DAYTON — A loaded gun and numerous rounds of ammunition and other items were stolen from a school worker’s unlocked vehicle at Dayton Boys Preparatory Academy Friday morning, a Dayton police report showed.
Officers responded around 11 a.m. to Dayton Boys Preparatory Academy on West Third Street.
Article doesn't mention if the gun was secured in some internal way.
The location of the school is in an area that used to be (maybe it still is? ) a very dangerous high crime area.
The worker told dispatchers his Army book bag with a laptop in it and $800 cash was taken from the vehicle. A Dayton police report showed a gun loaded with .224 blue tip rounds and 50 rounds of ammo also were taken.
The district’s policy on weapons says: “Unless otherwise permitted by law, staff members are not permitted to bring a deadly weapon or dangerous ordnance into a school safety zone."
The thief was described as a juvenile male, between 5 feet 6 and 5 feet 8 inches tall, wearing khaki pants and a black and white Nike hooded jacket, according to emergency dispatch traffic.

Help me out here. There was a law passed that employers could not post their parking lots preventing employees from locking their firearms in their cars while at work. Wouldn't this apply to school personnel also? I guess the school could argue that the school employee was in violation since he didn't lock his car.

There are two laws at play here. The first is the general prohibition against having a firearm in a school safety zone. The exemption there is for persons with a CHL who leave the firearm in the vehicle and lock the vehicle if they exit. The second law is the parking lot law, which only protects you if the firearm is locked in the trunk or locked in a container inside the vehicle. So for this person to be legal, he has to have a CHL, the vehicle must be locked, and if the firearm is not locked in the trunk then it must be locked in a compartment inside the locked vehicle.

I thought the only exception to a school safety zone was CHL passing on the street or on school property in the act of picking up a child so long as you never leave your vehicle. Do you have a statute citation for those exceptions?
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the Wisdom to know the difference.
