So let me see if I understand this correctly. His twin daughters who were underage and were at a drinking party, where the hosts were breaking the law by giving alcohol to minors, and to his daughters specifically; the father tries to pick his daughters up at THEIR request, tries to find out what is going on and feels threatened by a gang of drunken frat brats trying to start some sh*t, he pulls a gun, which he has a permit for, and tells them to back off. He gets in the car with his daughters and leaves WITHOUT incident, and HE is the one arrested AND has his property confiscated because, conveniently, the cops are not able to find out if he has a permit??

What I want to know is; how many of the little drunken hooligans were arrested for underage drinking and giving alcohol to minors? How about for ganging up on the dad in a threatening way?

I know. Dad probably drove an SUV, and everybody knows that when an SUV teams up with a gun, no good can come of it. < /sarcasm >

If that was my daughter, the headline would have read "Gir's Mother Pulls Gun on Frat Boys."

You'd better believe that if some punk convinced my daughter to go to some party, drove her 40 miles away, offered her brews, and left her stranded I would not only want to know who was throwing the beer blaster, I would want to know the name of the punk, his home phone number, and his parents' names, too!

And after I got my beloved baby girl home, I would whomp her ass, ground her for life, and never let her forget it.

Someone very dear to me was raped at party. The POS she was with spiked her cola (no, she was NOT drinking) and it ruined her for years. Yes, her parents called to make sure it was supervised, yes, they drove her there and picked her up, and yes, the party was *supposedly* chaperoned. The truth was, the "party parents" went into the city, the kids were getting drunk, and when this girl told her date she wanted to leave, he offered to drive her home early. "Let me just grab you a soda for the ride."

A soda with a date-rape drug in it. When her parents came to pick her up later, she was too devastated to say anything to them. The truth came out weeks later, when she tried to kill herself.

Folks seem to think this was just all perfectly innocent. Obviously, they don't have kids. Parents ALWAYS fear for the worst when it comes to their children, because when the stop being afraid, the WORST does happen.

Give that Dad a citation for Restraint in the Face of Extreme Provocation.

You may have it exactly right, but we don't know yet. It could be that the dad burst in and started waving a gun immediately. I don't think all the facts are in yet.

Knowing that particular fraternity, I suspect the brothers were well primed and quite intimidating, but I wasn't there. Since graduation was today and all of the students went home, I probably won't hear the real scoop before next September.

There will undoubtedly be some alcohol related charges filed in the near future.
