To: 2nd amendment mama
A university police chief here in Texas made almost exactly that same claim shortly after the CHL law was passed in Texas.

I write a letter to the university president and copied the police chief's office, pointing out that Texas law expressly prohibited what he suggested, and that by making such a proclamation, they had opened themselves to a lawsuit if one of their officers ever shot someone.

Think about it: he is simply claiming that someone holding a gun will be shot. Now, anyone that is shot can ask: was I really a threat? Or did you just think you saw a gun and opened fire? If I had a gun, did I threaten you or anyone else, or did you just presume that I was doing so?

I got a half-hearted apology from the university president, but they didn't make a public retraction.

so according to his so call police chief, mere second amendment knowledge is a criminal act.

IOW if you know civil rights means you are a criminal.
