Now that Eric Holder, who is essentially Janet Reno in drag, has been confirmed expect a lot of anti-gun action on the Federal level. And, as in the case of a Marine arrested in Oregon for a made-up “crime”, at the State level.
The student was charged with “possession of a firearm in a public building.” The college has barred him from classes and the state has charged him with the same crime. The student was involved in no unlawful activities nor was he engaged in any actions that would discredit a responsible gun owner. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
There is one small problem. The student has a valid Oregon concealed handgun license. He is statutorily exempt from the prohibitions on gun possession in public buildings.
Apparently neither the college nor the Monmouth Police are acquainted with the law.
The OFF is being too kind or, perhaps, ironic. I’m sure the University and the police know the law, they just don’t care. And since the new top attorney in the Federal government has already demonstrated he doesn’t care about the law, either, jackboots like these are going to feel emboldened.
