Just because the district attorney doesn't press charges doesn't mean he still acted in a way that should get him disqualified from the football team. DAs around the country are letting more and more go by.
Personally, unless we get a copy of the full police report or got video evidence ourselves, it's hard to say one way or another.
First, I said MAY have, not that he did, I’m still reserving judgment cause I wasn’t there.
Second, my bet is that if anything DL has a strict no gun policy, but I have no clue. But maybe the guy did legit threaten Holden after hitting him with pepper spray, we have no clue what happened. But if based on body cams and witnesses, if the DA isn’t pressing charges then it doesn’t seem to be as bad as everyone initially thought.

For some reason I think it was a she that pepper sprayed Holden, may be wrong…. As usual
I'll just trust that Lanning has / had all the info and the right decision will be made one way or another cause I doubt we, as fans every get all of the facts ourselves.

And we will never get any explanation from Lanning. Bet any question addressed about this, will be a quick ‘I will only discuss players currently on my team’, and correctly drop the subject.
Would taking away a scholarship for lawfully carrying a gun be OK under the 2nd Amendment? Can a University punish someone for lawfully using a gun in self defense? Does UO have a campus wide no-guns policy? I have no idea, but assume DL has all the facts, followed required procedures, and probably talked to a lawyer before acting.
A dude who says “progrum” and follows Ron DeSantis on Twitter having a no gun policy would be pretty ironic haha. I highly doubt that’s the case, especially since there’s likely a number of players on the team who are hunters.
Lanning may have a no pointing a gun at another person policy though.

I usually give you space, ……..come on he pulled a gun, is there any reason to pull a gun, walk away……don’t be there….. think!
According to witnesses. So maybe, but video must not show it to the extent he was charged with.
We have no idea what happened. He was at home, it could the “witnesses” threatened him and he was left with not choice. Who knows. I just don’t like the jumping to conclusions in a case like this.

According to a media report I read, I think it was the RG, there was an altercation at 12:30 am he got into a fight someone used pepper spray on him, he pulled a gun. When the police showed up he was on the stairs, not sure if he was coming or going. Witnesses said he pulled a gun, police found a gun in his apartment. Sounds like he heard the sirens and took the gun to his place so it was not on him. We are making assumptions but it seems clear he did enough to get the boot, I am DL is setting the tone for all current and future players.
