GUN CONTROL
A hall advisor in Deseret Towers R Hall confiscated a rifle from one of the residents Sat., March 11 at approximately 9 p.m.
The resident was playing with an old World War II Army rifle when the hall advisor walked by the room. She told him having a gun in the dorm is against University policy and he needed to check it into a locker at the front office. The resident became very irate and refused to check the gun in. The gun was not loaded and the advisor was able to get the resident to retire the gun with a bit of persuasion.
The resident had no criminal intentions. The rifle had been loaned to him by a friend to “check out.” No charges were issued.
