Lesson Overview

2.03 – Intent Doesn’t Matter in Court: Many teens think they won’t get in serious trouble if they didn’t plan to use a gun, but the law doesn’t work that way. Courts focus on actions, not excuses. If you bring a weapon into a school zone, your intent becomes less important than the risk you created. Even saying you were protecting yourself won’t erase the charge. Judges see schools as places that must stay completely safe. When laws are broken there, punishments are strict to set an example. A single mistake can lead to probation, detention, or even jail. Once the system is involved, your freedom depends on legal rules, not feelings. It’s better to talk to someone about fear or safety than to carry a weapon and hope for understanding later. Laws exist to prevent danger before it happens. Knowing that intent doesn’t matter helps you think twice before acting.
