It may seem harmelss enough to allow a gun on the bench with a law wnforcement officer/coach. But, things can get out of hand. Last year in a game we stopped the game because we saw a red light on the cheek of one of the visiting team players. It turned out to be a parent, yes an adult, in the bleachers, with a laser pointer and she was pointing it at the EYES of the visiting team. Needless to say we had law enforcement officers working the game to escort her out of the gym. It is just better for an ounce of prevention. She could have seriously injured someone. Who knows, the coach's gun could have fallen to the floor and discharged. Ever think about that?
