Cliff's Notes:
College student arrested and held without bail, firearms in possession and at residence confiscated.
Charges filed for violating 430 ILCS 66/65 carrying on school property. (IANAL, but this reads as K-12 to me as college is specifically mentioned elsewhere)
A "friend" makes one phone call to police, with feelings that the student was "acting strange" and here come the police.
News article above says the police saw a 9mm handgun tucked between the seat & console. In a college parking lot.
It's not clear to me what law the judge was reading when this was allowed, nor what the prosecutor was reading when charges were filed.
But, it doesn't appear that any actual laws need to be broken or have any harmful intent in order for the State to take your guns, charge you with a felony, throw you in the slammer and hold you without bail.
