ORLANDO, Fla. -- An 18-year-old was arrested on University of Central Florida property with an AK-47 assault rifle and ammunition that can penetrate bullet-proof vests.

Police said Jonathan Taylor, 18, was recently spotted at the Pegasus Pointe apartments, which is considered UCF property, and arrested on suspicion of trespassing.

...and his medical history?

and his political orientation?

[VeniVidiVici]

I think he was nuts. They just aren’t saying. Another news story said that he *was* a student there and not just some guy hanging around campus.

[SF Republican]

and his barber?

...with an AK-47 assault rifle...

I'll bet it wasn't an AK-47 "assault rifle". I'll bet it only looked like one.

...and ammunition that can penetrate bullet-proof vests

In other words, center-fire rifle ammunition.

Here's a tip for the author: Only Class III and Class IV body armors are rated to stop center-fire rifle rounds.

Will the difference between an AKS and AK ever dawn on them?

At the very least, unbalanced: “In January, students called police to report that Taylor was standing outside the campus wellness center trying to sell steroids, investigators said.

“Police said a semi-automatic was found in Taylor’s possession.”

Maybe he wanted to shoot his stylist?

Reminds me of a Goth.

[AppyPappy]

A drug dealer...

With a gun....

I don’t believe it.

[OESY]

Can't this moron read the sign? It's a Gun Free Zone!!!
What on earth did his parents send him to college for? /sarc.

But they apparently didn’t arrest him.

His eyes creep me out. People like him are the reason I’m always packin’.

[rockrr]

I think that’s illegal, isn’t it? ;’}

I always wondered if someone in my apartment complex in college would call the apt. office to report that I had guns in my apartment. I lived in college housing and liked to go shooting (not on campus) on the weekends and would have to carry three or four gun cases to my car. I could see the So. Cal. blondes eyeing me wearily as I walked to and fro. For some reason we were not supposed to have guns on the premises, as if unloaded guns stored in your closet were going to walk out to the living room and unload on a group of psychology majors.

What exactly is an assault rifle in the US? I thought that it was illegal to own a fully-automatic firearm in most cases. My AK-47 is semi-auto and is not an assault rifle. It will never be used on another person unless they are assaulting me!

“Excuse me son, where are you going with that gun?”

“Uhm... ROTC?”

[Sopater]

Student with AK-47?

[knarf]

An AK and only suspected of ... trespassing????

[RexBeach]

It seems the cops did bust him, but then let him go, or were preparing to let him go.

See how the law works to keep us safe?

Geezy-peezy, time to get a concealed carry permit.
