From today's CJ:
[font="arial, helvetica"]A former University of Louisville student and contract employee was apprehended by University of Louisville Police Friday morning after a law library staff member recognized that he was barred from campus.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]According to police, Thomas H. Irwin entered the law library at about 8:30 a.m. with two handguns and ammunition. A library employee called U of L Police, who escorted Irwin from the premises without incident.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]U of L Police arrested Irwin and charged him with carrying a concealed deadly weapon and with criminal trespass, said university spokesman Mark Hebert.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]Irwin was taken to the campus police headquarters for further investigation and then transported to Louisville Metro Corrections. U of L had declared Irwin a persona non grata in December 2008.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]“We have systems in place to protect our students, faculty and staff, and in this case the employee acted quickly and appropriately,” Provost Shirley Willihnganz said, in a statement. “I also want to thank our police for acting quickly.”[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]------------------------------------------------------------[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]I know this forum primarily focuses on Open Carry . . . however, I think this is a case that we should follow closely. If Irwin had a CDWL and had not been asked to leave the library (prior to his arrest), then I really don't see any basis for an arrest. If there are other issues involved (such as no permit), then the case is rather mundane. But, this potentially could be the case that demonstrates the commonly-held presumption of guns being illegal on college campuses here in KY. [/font]
