Man With Guns Arrested at U. of Louisville Law Library

The University of Louisville had an incident on Friday where a former student and part-time employee was arrested at the law library after he brought two handguns and 53 rounds of ammunition on campus.  Guns are not allowed on campus, and the University prominently posts signs to that effect.  Thomas H. Irwin was charged with two misdemeanors, carrying a concealed deadly weapon and trespass.  According to the Louisville Courier, Irwin was banned from the campus in December of 2008 due to a harassment complaint by another employee.  Irwin did have a permit to carry weapons and indicated that he was planning to go to a shooting range that afternoon.  Irwin entered the law library at 8:30 a.m.  He was recognized by a law library employee who called campus police.
