Tim Williams arrested for carrying a pistol without a permit

It's not that simple. Those situations sometimes find you. Fortune favors the prepared.
Read the report. he got extremely lucky. It looks like he got temporary permit from the store and he just didn't have it in his possession. 2. he could've got hit with a "green" charge but didn't. He was very lucky.
The first question is why did he choose to be out - anywhere - at 2am Thursday of a game week?
As I've said before, you can avoid many bad situations by being at home, in bed, asleep at that hour.

I remember how I was as a 21-22 year old college senior, and I'll give you everything but asleep. I enjoyed company....and fellowship.
I can't tell you how many times I was out at 2am on a Thursday before I had an exam or even an occasional final the next morning. Not all of us were choirboys.
Mods, you sure you want this thread to continue? It`s got a dark and negative feel to it. Hard to put into words. Just my opinion.
This is probably the most moderated forum on the internet. I hope your feelings aren't hurt too badly from reading all the mean words.
I blew off studying for an important test once because a hawt chick asked me to drive her to see her sister. We are out until 2 or 3am and then awake for another 2 hours. Memories.
Why don't we be respectful of fellow fans opinions? I don't happen to share Tideflyer's particular opinion on the thread, but I think he's welcome to it without disrespect.
Back on topic, if Tim sits this week I wonder who we will get to see in his spot? Evans? Hall?

Considering TW had a temporary permit from LA but didn't have it with him (had the receipt instead), I'm not sure this charge is enough to warrant any punishment from the football program. He could just as easily been arrested for driving while leaving his driver's license at home.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse, but this charge looked a whole lot worse before these details emerged...

He's certainly welcome to his opinion, but when it comes in the form of a suggestion discussion should be shut down, you can expect some resistance.
I get that he is young, popular, away at college, and feeling all of the great things that come with those things. I made similar mistakes when I was his age. But, guess what? They were mistakes. Just because I made them doesn't mean that they were not mistakes.
My advice to my boys, one of whom is in college right now, has consistently been that you increase your risk of encountering life altering circumstances by being out after midnight. I am sure that he also makes mistakes of this sort. He is a bright kid with a bright future, so long as his luck holds out.
My point - being young and full of all of the great things that come with youth does not excuse the mistake itself. You take your chances, and deal with the consequences of your decisions. A lot worse than an arrest for a minor gun charge could have happened. Heck, I can think of too many "maybes" to count.
Fortunately his consequences will be minor. Hopefully others will learn from this. And the lesson should not be, well, you are young so we expect you to do stupid things.
