Would this have been legal under concealed carry????

Two arrested during graduation
Custodian alerts police to armed men

An alert custodian may have helped avert a tragedy during graduation exercises at Markesan High School June 3.

Officers found a gun, knives, machetes, a sword and ammunition on the two men and in their vehicle after they were apprehended.

Did the absence of concealed carry prevent it?

Yes, I believe it does - If it were not illegal to carry these weapons into the graduation ceremony, there would have been no reason to stop them from entering.

Read the stoy (click on the link in the header to do that) - they also had guns on them.

That is what they were arrested for.... If concealed carry were legal, they would have been free to go.
