University of New Mexico police are cracking down on people who are trying to sell guns on campus....Apparently the "Authorized Journalists" think "Glock" is a type of gun rather than a trade name.
They set up an undercover operation at an apartment complex. During the sting, police said Gallegos pulled out a glock [sic] handgun.
What I don't get from this is whether this is some guy selling stolen weapons out of his trunk or if this was just a legal private sale that's being blown out of proportion.
Another account says:
...Gallegos pulled a gun on an undercover officer when he went inside, and that's what led to the arrest.So based on that we can automatically assume this wasn't a case of self defense because he didn't know the guy scaring him was a cop?
There aren't enough facts here to make any kind of definitive judgment, but based on the partnership between the "watchdog press" and those they're supposed to be monitoring, we can be pretty certain about what they want us to believe, pretty much eloquently expressed by students Koranyi and Willis.

I would think that all this young man needs do is show the cops' publicity statements to the judge to have the charges dismissed. Then prepare a large lawsuit if the university takes any action him.
After all, the cop did say (translated) "We went and arrested him where and when he wasn't doing anything illegal, even though we were out of our jurisdiction at the time, just in case he was going to do something illegal at some future time."
