Cops: Elementary kids find loaded gun teacher left in Pa. school bathroom
September 13, 2016

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. -- A teacher at a Pennsylvania Christian school accidently left her loaded pistol in a bathroom, where elementary school children found it, Pennsylvania State Police said Tuesday.

Beth Jean Dixon, 63, put her holstered pistol on a toilet tank when she used the unisex, one-toilet bathroom Aug. 25 at Cumberland Christian School, in Chambersburg, police said. They said she forgot about it and left.

Four children, ages 6 to 8, used the bathroom while the gun was on the toilet. One child told his parent, who told a teacher.

Dixon informed administrators what happened and immediately resigned from the school about 55 miles southwest of Harrisburg, police said.

RWNJ's will be outraged that she had to use the same bathroom a transsexual could have used. Who wouldn't forget to take their beloved gun with them under such horrendous conditions?

Well, that makes it a million times safer than a public, gun-free school according to the NRA Numbnuts in the WH.
