In November of my sophomore year I had a random room search and they found 2 firearms that my father gave to me as a gift for graduating basic combat training for the army reserves. I owned them legally and was frankly one of the more qualified person to own them too due to my formal training. However, the university has a rule that people aren't allowed to have firearms in their dorm and campus security no longer holds them for you. I go to school in a notoriously sketchy town and so I had them for self defense purposes. The residential directors know that I am in the military, they know why I had them, and I declared them when they did the room search. They let me off very easy with only 2 hours of community service that my RD didn't even have me serve the full sentence, buy a safe to better safeguard my ammo, and was on disciplinary probation for like a month. They didn't even follow up with another room search. I fully own up to this mistake, I really should have known better and I was fully up front with this and frankly I got off the hook very easily and now have a good relation with the RDs. Will this IA prevent me from getting into Med school? How do I go about writing about this on my applications?
TL;DR
In fall semester of sophomore year I got in trouble for having firearms in my dorm. I owned the guns legally for self defense. School busted me for policy violation because of the firearms and punished me lightly. I own up to it and I plan on disclosing it. What should my plan of action be?
