A young student in Louth shut down a 'Project X' style party at his house with his father's rifle.

The 21-year-old came back from a night out to find over 200 people at his house after word spread on social media that his parents were away, according to the Irish Independent.

The man from Blackrock in Dundalk admitted a summons for unauthorised possession of a licensed firearm, but a conviction wasn't recorded against him.
