Not sure if there was a story about this- I haven't really been on too much lately, but the story goes: two students aged 21 and 23 attending Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA, had a homeless guy come to their door and became aggressive and agitated. One of the students used a Glock to ward off the homeless person. Now they're facing disciplinary action for violating the school policy. So much hypocrisy in many university policies.
Gonzaga University will review its weapons policy as two students who used a pistol to scare off an intruder appeal their probation for having guns in their university-owned apartment.Executive Vice President Earl Martin said Monday the university will try to turn the incident into a teachable moment by re-examining its no-weapons policy.
"We will consider the scope of the policy, but always guided by what is in the best interest of student safety," Martin said. He could not predict how long the process may take. [Ed- Because no guns=safety, right?]
Students Erik Fagan, 21, and Daniel McIntosh, 23, were informed by the university over the weekend they were on probation and could be suspended or expelled for any more violations of the university's code of conduct, The Spokesman-Review reported.
Their lawyer, Dean Chuang, said Gonzaga should consider student safety above all else.
"We're glad that it didn't have to end in tragedy for them to consider changing the policy there," Chuang said. "Our boys were armed and stopped a home invasion here."

The men called police and campus security. Fagan has a concealed weapons permit, he said.
Campus security returned the next day and confiscated McIntosh's pistol and Fagan's shotgun, which he uses for hunting and sport shooting.
The men say their guns were seized illegally and are seeking to have them returned.
They say they are glad they weren't expelled but they're appealing their probation because they don't want the sanction on their school records.
Students are not allowed to have guns in their homes if they live on campus or in a university-owned apartment. The university discipline board on Friday found Fagan and McIntosh responsible for two violations: possessing weapons on school grounds and putting others in danger by the use of weapons.
The man who went to their door, John M. Taylor, 29, is a six-time felon, said police spokeswoman Monique Cotton. His crimes have included riot with a deadly weapon, possession of a controlled substance and unlawful imprisonment.
