College Student Faces Felony Charges Over Airsoft

http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/...70220030.shtml

Yet another example of what can go wrong when irresponsible people get airsoft guns.

"He just tossed it in the car..."

Great, so before he just left it lying in his car, he was walking around campus with this thing in the open.

I'm sure the knife they found didn't help this case either. Knife and a replica pistol? How can he not realize that's a bad thing? Way to go, ********.

I'm utterly amazed at how broad an restrictive the Georga law is on weapons...

Quote:
Under state law, any weapon "designed or intended to propel a missile of any kind" is a felony crime.
I mean good lord... that would make possessing a rubber band gun a felony for crying out loud!

Another supportive detail that I will use in my argument that college students, now today, are too smart for their own good. I liked it so much better when common sense distinquished you as qualified or intelligent.

In this case, his grades or GPA would probably argue my point that he is in fact intelligent, but ones actions show he's a MORON!!!

THANK YOU FOR COMING, I'll be here all my life.

Y'see this? This is the world's smallest violin playing for your boo-hoo sob story. This is just idiotic.
Although, ok, I can see both sides of the story - campus security takes things very seriously; the student's mother finds the charges a bit ridiculous because it's only a replica/toy. But then again there's the whole thing that if it looks like a gun, you have to treat it like one.
I have to wonder, though - what was campus security doing that allowed them to glimpse into the vehicle?

/and yeah, that's a pretty broad law.

They patrol the parking lot to discourage break-ins. My guess is they also look inside cars while they're doing that to see if there's anything clearly illegal inside...such as guns.

Rover8541 is an unknown quantity at this point
I understand the law with respect to the "projectile", it is true then that rubberband guns would then be a felony, but was there no orange tip on this gun that would have caused campus security and the police to react in this way?

That would be my guess, unless the CampSec was really overeager & chose to ignore it, in which case the mother might have a case...

regardless...he's retarted for storing it in his car. Campus security is allowed to do anything they want on campus. Check for IDs, call in a suspicious vehicle, stop students, ask questions etc. Especially if they are off duty township or state police. Rowan Universities CP is probably 25% off duties.

Well theres no arguing that, and the knife isn't much smarter.

Can't help but wonder if hes going to get off on this one though...

Sounds like the knife was a pocket knife.

I don't know if sarcasm will go over too well with what looks to my untrained eye to be some very strict conservative administrators & politicians, but the kid makes some points, obvious as they may be to the average semi-intelligent person. Good thinking to bring up the roberies though.

Regardless of whether or not it was a real gun, it was perceived as a real threat and when someone sees it they respond they way they would to a real gun.
