SPOKANE, Wash. - Two Gonzaga students are facing possible expulsion from the University after they pulled a weapon in self defense as a six time felon attempted to get into their on campus apartment. According to the student handbook, students may not possess handguns on campus or university owned property. On Friday a university discipline board decided to move forward with sanctions, including possible expulsion, for using the weapons. The students will learn in the near future about their future with the school. It all happened late in the night on October 24th when roommates Erik Fagan and Dan McIntosh were hanging out in their university owned apartment. At 10:15 Fagan answered the door and was greeted by John Taylor. Taylor is a felon with an extensive criminal history and when he arrived Fagan said Taylor showed him what appeared to be an ankle bracelet as he tried to intimidate him. Fagan said Taylor then demanded money and was frustrated when he was turned down. Taylor then attempted to force entry into the apartment. At that point McIntosh brandished his pistol. McIntosh has a concealed weapons permit for the gun and did not know it was in violation of policy at the time. Once Taylor saw the gun he left the property. McIntosh said Spokane Police took Taylor into custody after their report because he was wanted on a Department of Corrections warrant. Gonzaga released a statement speaking of their long standing weapons policy that has been in effect. The University says the policy has been in place to reduce threats to the school. This story is developing and will be updated as more information becomes available. Poster Comment: Article link has pics of students and the career perp....

I love one of the reader's responses - couldn't say it better myself: "Apparently it is more noble to be gasping for life in a pool of your own blood than to defend yourself in the wonderful world of liberalism. I'd be looking for another school where the administrators actually value the Constitution and the Bill of Rights."
Are there any schools "where administrators actually value the Constitution and the BoR?" Seems to me that they're almost all categorically part of a system that rewards them for being against those things. Right, so apparently they don't mind six-time felons going on the property and have done absolutely nothing significant to prevent that, and assume that any violent crimes would be perpetrated by the same people that they've screened fora admission. ... got it.
This law school doesn't acknowledge 2A........got irony? " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11 "Life's tough, and even tougher if you're stupid." --John Wayne
Wait, that's NOT the point!! You can't just throw that out there and poke that 'esteemed institution' in it's eye with a sharp stick of truth!! Highly- paid campus administrators take great umbrage with your insolence by statement of fact!! :)
