By the way, I've already started getting hatemail to my umich.edu address.

If any communication to youcrosses the line and seems to be a possible violation of law, or school policy if the sender is suspected to be a student, I would recommend youfile a written complaint.

Besides without the gun you might look like a normal person not a big chicken@#$% manchild

I am glad Brave guys like this one are here to show us the way to be real He-men.

Is to run home and express your outrage on your computer in your basement..

I agree don't feed the Trolls..

kudos to the ann arbor police department for their courtesy and professionalism. it was nice that they checked with their attorney before jumping to conclusions.

I'm actually really impressed by that article. He presented it very well and was quite objective.
I wasn't all that impressed with it. I do admire his objectivity. however, reading the article gave me the impression that it's illegal to take a gun out of it's holster unless my life is threatened, and that all guns have loaded chamber indicators, and that it's illegal to OC into "banks, churches, courts, theaters, sports arenas, day care centers, hospitals, bars."
