The UNM Police Department arrested student Kevin Boyar on Tuesday on charges of unlawfully carrying a gun onto a University establishment.
Police said four guns were recovered from Boyar's parents' house, including an AK-47 assault-style rifle, and there is evidence he brought the weapons to his room in the Student Residence Center.
Police Chief Kathy Guimond said the department received an anonymous tip at 11 a.m. that Boyar, 19, had guns in his room at the SRC. The informant said Boyar had made threats referring to the shootings at Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois, she said.
Police obtained a search warrant and entered Boyar's room, but no guns were found, Guimond said.
However, there was evidence weapons had been in the room, she said.

and one about why the school didn't alert students.

NM ping.
When I went to college in 1968, I has all of my guns in my dorm room. No big deal.
If you want on or off the NM Ping list, please FReepmail me.
We got gigged for having muratic acid to clean the shower. Pigs next door never cleaned the shower.
The CO didn't care about the weapons.
You can't conceal carry on any base today.

**However, there was evidence weapons had been in the room, she said.**
Did it leave it’s DNA there? ;-D
Assuming that the “evidence” is probably a photo, how could
anyone positively prove which guns they were?
So let me get this straight; the cops busted him for having guns in his campus dorm room even though they didn’t find any there. But the did find evidence that guns had been “recently in the room” (what, gun DNA?)
So what gave them the right to go seize the guns at his parents house?
Ditto...
I lived in a dorm at UNM for a semester in 1971. I reckon I had three firearms there at any given time ....
Of course none of them were one of those evil AK looking things... THAT would make all the difference, huh?
And when I went back in the mid-80’s for grad school, I carried concealed every day.
(Seung-Hui Cho or anyone like him would have had a significantly shorter career had he decided to shoot up any classrooms that I was near.)
Yet I somehow managed to not slaughter my classmates....
Imagine that!
charges of unlawfully carrying a gun onto a University establishment.
Weve sunk to the point where 'anonymous' tips and vague references to any historical shooting tosses all manner of evidence requirements into the proverbial crapper...
arrested, charged, property seized [from a third party residence] on an anonymous word, for a violation of an un-Constitutional law...
Lucky for the parents that they havent stocked up on sudaphed for their springtime allergies, or the dog coulda had a bad day as well...
LFOD...
Looks like a generic AK-47 clone, a Mossberg 500 or Maverick, Savage .22, and a Mosin-Nagant M44. Pretty standard starting collection there.
Only thing missing is a hand gun of some form and he has had the weapon groups covered that I recommend for every household to have.
I'm more curious about this "anonymous tip" and what "evidence" they have that he had the guns at his dorm.
Really sounds to me like some other student called him in just because he owned guns and made crap up about him.
Might have to pay attention to this one.
