Maybe, maybe not. But no warrant, no set foot in my house. Why give an inch?

Might be a good sign for the front door: "No warrant, No entry." Include your attorney's phone number. A front door surveillance camera to boot.

Any recent updates with this? Did the father hire an attorney yet? Have any gun rights organizations stepped up to help?

The way they keep records on people today, I'd say that kids future is pretty much fucked.

I guess it's safe to say that that will be going on his "permanent record". Wonder how colleges will look at that. The gun grabbers very well could have essentially sealed this kids fate.
Even more important that the parents get a lawyer involved to have this expunged from his record.

Vet says troopers asked to take his guns without a warrant. He didn't let them
Leonard Cottrell Jr. fought on the front lines in the Iraq War. Now, he feels he's fighting the frontlines at home in New Jersey for the right to bear arms.
Cottrell, 40, said he was working at Wawa on June 14 when he got a call from his wife around 9:30 p.m. that two police officers from the New Jersey State Police's Hamilton station were at the doorstep of his Millstone home.
The troopers, who patrol this sprawling Monmouth County township, were there, he said, because his 13-year-old son had made a comment at school about the Millstone Middle School's security, and the officers wanted to confiscate Cottrell's firearms as part of an investigation.
Cottrell, a disabled U.S. Army veteran who served three tours during "Operation Iraqi Freedom," owns a shotgun and a pistol. He has all the correct permits to own the firearms, he said, and predominately uses the shotgun to hunt.
He said his wife allowed the officers to enter the home, and with her permission, they searched his son's room -- but they did not find any weapons, he said. The officers, he said, didn't have a warrant but still wanted to take his guns. Cottrell wouldn't let them.
"No one from the state was going to take my firearms without due process," he said Thursday.

This underscores the importance of making sure both responsible adults in a home are on the same page.
I've told my wife repeatedly that no warrant means no entry. I hope she understands and holds true to this, if push came to shove.
The mother should NEVER have allowed entry.
