ABC News A Nevada college student was arrested on campus after police found a rifle and 2,000 rounds of ammunition in his vehicle. Shayn Striegel, a 27-year-old student at the College of Southern Nevada, was arrested and charged Wednesday evening after officers discovered the weapon while acting on a tip, the school said in a statement. Striegel, who had parked his vehicle on the college’s Henderson campus, told officers that he’d forgotten about the weapons. “Officers arrived and tracked down the student who had driven the car to campus. It was then determined that the student had a rifle and approximately 2,000 rounds of ammunition inside the vehicle,” the statement said. “Firearms are prohibited on Nevada System of Higher Education campuses, including those kept in parked vehicles.” The student was arrested at around 6 p.m and booked into the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. He was being held on a $2,000 bond on charges of possession of a dangerous weapon on school property. No one was hurt and there was no immediate threat to others on campus, the college said. Striegel is scheduled to appear in court on Friday. The school said the arrest highlighted the importance of the public reporting suspicious activity. “Although police do not believe that an ongoing threat exists to Henderson or any of our other campuses as a result of this incident, it is an important reminder of the effectiveness of the ‘see something, say something’ public safety campaign,” according to the statement. “If you see something suspicious, report it to the police immediately.” The discovery came just days after a North Carolina college student was arrested with ammunition and two firearms in his dorm room. The student, identified as High Point University freshman Paul Steber, allegedly told authorities that he was plotting to commit a mass shooting at his school, with plans on killing himself and his roommate. Police did not offer specific details about his plans, but prosecutors said Steber desperately wanted to pledge a fraternity and the plot hinged on whether or not he got into one. That case also came to light based on a tip from someone on campus. https://abcnews.go.com/US/nevada-college-student-arrested-campus-rifle-2000-rounds/story?id=65279561

That was yesterday. No news on his hearing? Police did not offer specific details about his plans, but prosecutors said Steber desperately wanted to pledge a fraternity and the plot hinged on whether or not he got into one. It's odd to find it that hard to pledge a frat on a cowtown campus unless you're a total misfit. But killing yourself over getting into a frat kind of qualifies as inherently unsafe to own firearms. I know I don't want a punk like that to have guns. Too immature, too irresponsible.
More background: About 4 p.m. on Aug. 28, University Police Services were given a report that there appeared to be firearm magazines in a car on CSN's Henderson campus, near Horizon and College drives, according to an emailed statement from the school. Officers found the driver, a 27-year-old student named Shayn David Striegel, and determined the car contained a rifle and about 2,000 rounds of ammunition. He told authorities he forgot it was in his car. According to Striegel's arrest report, the vehicle that was found parked on the CSN Henderson campus was registered to his brother, identified in police records as Tylor William Striegel, 27. When police made contact with Tylor, he said his brother Shayn was the primary driver of the vehicle, the report said. Police confirmed during a records check that Shayn had an active, valid concealed weapons permit out of Clark County. Police also confirmed Shayn was a current student at CSN and was in class when officers found the vehicle, the arrest report said. As officers approached Shayn, he began "making spontaneous utterances: I know what this is about, I'm so sorry. I forgot I had it in the car, I work for Rifle Dynamics." According to his arrest report, during his interview with police, Shayn once again told officers he worked for Rifle Dynamics and had been at the shooting range earlier in the day. He told officers he forgot the rifle and ammunition were in his car, and that there were no additional firearms in the vehicle. Police found, during a probable cause search of the vehicle, a gray ammo can with blue tape across the top with "Shayn" written across the top, which contained several hundred rounds of .22 ammunition; an unlocked rifle case in the trunk containing an unloaded, black, AK style weapon and a green ammo can filled with 7.62 ammunition. No other firearms were found in the vehicle. ...
Does it now – a simple case to whom? And therein lies the potential for presenting some major problems when he continues to seek employment throughout his life. Why? A survey revealed that colossal 92% of those employers who responded performed arrest record checks on at least some of the job applicants while 73% indicated that they had conducted an arrest record checks on all job applicants. Furthermore, while some of the employers disqualify applicants for only certain offenses, there were many more who simply refuse to consider any applicant who has an arrest record, period. That depends on “with whom.” “Serious” is defined as “demanding careful consideration or application. While “trouble” is defined as “anything that causes difficulty, worry, and inconvenience, or that prevents you from doing something.” So, while you so flippantly disregard his arrest record as a “simple case” – I would be more inclined to approach it with the respectful attitude it rightfully and fully deserves. I would do this because arrest record checks have curtailed many a job opportunity for millions of people. One source estimated that an astounding 65 million people in this country – roughly one in four- have arrest records. It is because of all I have covered here that I would therefore strongly hesitate before I declared him not to be in “any serious trouble.” There may be cause to examine the relationships of the forgiveness you have shown to him here and the lack of forgiveness by potential employers with the psychological effect on them from the arrest record data available. Salute,
I was only indicating that he is unlikely to pay major fines or serve time in prison or lose his right to own firearms or possess firearms. He had a CCW and worked in a shop that produces pricey AK-47/AK-74/AKM rifles in Las Vegas. He's 27yo and he knew the law. Some snitch saw some rifle mags in his car and narced him off to the local cops. I think Vegas is going to be nervous about guns for years to come and gunowners probably need to be very careful to obey the laws in Nevada. Maybe, maybe not. I think that more people are starting to suffer more from what is on their Facebook/Twitter than any minor arrest record. Besides, aren't traffic arrests for DUIs or reckless driving or vehicular manslaughter fair game for a trucking company to use in hiring? How about drug convictions for a pharma company? How about registered sex offenders working in schools? Do employers need to give all of them a second chance after a serious offense? This is all easy for me to say. I've never been arrested, had a couple of small speeding tickets (and one where my speed was maxed out as 90mph in a 25mph zone because my state didn't write tickets for over 90mph for anything back then, it was the highest ticket you could get). I was no angel and still am not. I'm just very discreet when I misbehave. When I do speed, like 10mph over the speed limit, I dutifully wear my seat belt, like a good Republican with short hair and a vehicle of conservative appearance. LOL At some point, you have to make people responsible for the laws of the nation and the state. A 27yo waif with a CCW who works in a high-end rifle business and whose initial statements to police indicate he knew the laws full well seems like an appropriate person for law enforcement to arrest. If you can't hold that guy responsible, who can you enforce laws on? You seem to be objecting far more to the creation of an arrest record and a possible conviction than you are about the law being broken. I think the arrest record can have serious consequences but the primary objective of these laws is to punish lawbreakers for the offense committed. If you are primarily concerned with expunging criminal records, just say so. If you're suggesting that officers should not enforce laws on the books, you're succumbing to the influence of Deckard's cophating threads by reading so many of them. G.I., I think Gatlin may be going over to the Dark Side. It's that Deckard kid, he's a bad influence. LOL
Back when this was a free country - kids drove to school with rifles in a rack indside their pick up trucks. This cop was just "doing his job". I was only indicating that he is unlikely to pay major fines or serve time in prison or lose his right to own firearms or possess firearms. That remains to be seen - in today's climate of fear, hoplophobic politicians and media have deigned ALL gun owners a threat to society.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. He'd have to stop genuflecting before cops first. His submissive authority fetish will not allow him to do that. It's that Deckard kid, he's a bad influence. Year, right - I'm a "thought criminal" for having ideas that Parsons has deemed "doubleplusungood" - after all, he is the self-appointed sole arbiter of acceptable discourse on this forum.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Because you don't hear about all the times a gunowner defended his store by brandishing a weapon. Or a woman escaping a mugger/rapist in a deserted parking garage at night by pulling a gun from her pocket. Or a kid or senior citizen using a gun to resist a home invasion. Those don't make headlines the way a gun massacre does. But just one mass shooting and you hear nothing but for weeks on end, largely because the libmedia is a pack of gun-pussies who would be frightened even to touch a firearm for fear it would go off and kill everyone around them. In truth, the biggest anti-gun people are afraid, mostly afraid they can't cut it when holding a deadly weapon. And yet they all drive on public roads at high speeds, something that is demonstrably far more dangerous to life and limb than all the gun massacres combined. But driving is non-partisan and guns increasingly are partisan. You also have the element of fair play. A gun maniac can shoot up a school or theater or other public gun-free venue with impunity and with only very minor combat skills like shooting fish in a barrel. Because shooting up a school is so easy because the shooter can be very confident of 5-10 minutes before any cop shows up to threaten their lives, people see helpless people getting gunned down by an armed maniac. So you can grasp their mindset, particularly if they're city people who no real experience of using firearms unless they're cops or military veterans. In that sense, the gun/anti-gun debate starts to devolve into the classic rural-vs-urban political divides that are so familiar in American politics.
I dunno, I'm worried about him. Maybe we need to call in a wellness check on him and have them dispatch a SWAT team to see if he's okay. Just to be safe of course.
I like that Gatlin can defend both sides, as he feels needed. It shows that his only AGENDA, is the truth he has, within him... or at least what he feels is the truth. Even if I agree with him. For this site to be a worth a shit, we need more posters like Gatlin and less posters that use this forum for their own personal agenda, even if that agenda is a good one.
I was just razzing him. : )
And rightfully so. Gotta keep Gatlin on his toes.
Striegel is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.

Sounds like a simple case. He'll have an arrest record for a firearms violation but he's not in any serious trouble. Maybe he pays a fine, does some community service hours.

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
