Just a clarification to clear up
@BatteryOaksBilly's comment, Saturday Night Specials are typically just inexpensive handguns (commonly used in crimes since they can be easily tossed without much financial loss). These include brands like Phoenix Arms, Jennings, Hi-Point, etc. Hell, one of my first guns was a Saturday Night Special because I couldn't afford much more as a grad student.
Edit: Also, given how scared people at UNC are of a statue, I highly doubt this guy is going to get
any lenency.
