I would like a transcript of the Q and A he went through with campus police!
i.e.
“We show you own these weapons.”
Yes.
“Where do you keep them?”
I own and store them legally, so unless you have probable cause, “where?” is none of your business.

The hospital where I worked as an EMT was in such a rough part of the city that hospital security personnel were armed and had arrest powers.

dont you have a right to ID accuser?.or did one once have? You used to have the right to the free exercise of your religion too, but Obama is revoking the legal right to refuse to participate in abortion-related activities. You used to have the right to keep and bear arms, but Obama is threatening that legal right too. Fortunately, those rights come from a higher power than Obama (I know, most liberals don't believe in anything higher than The One), and we still have those rights, regardless of what Dear Leader says or does.

Well, he didn’t know what they wanted. Of course, going in without knowing what they want, so that you can make an informed decision is a mistake in itself.

a university campus is a place for the free and open exchange of ideas. Sarah must be a freshman. By time she's through with her sophomore year, she'll know how naive THAT statement is!

Considering a kids unfamiliarity with the language, the influence of pop culture cadences, and nervousness often perceived as aggression, the talk might have seemed threatening.You forgot the /sarc thing. Without it some casual readers might actually believe your parody of liberal mindrot was posted seriously.

He should start a petition to remove this teacher from the school.

He never should have appearead without first consulting a conservative civil rights attorney such as FIRE provides. Any time the police show an interest in you, you must assume they are your enemy not your friend. This is especially true if you are innocent.

A GOOD REASON not to register your guns! What state did this happen in? HOW would the campus Barney Fifes access that info? Central Connecticut State University.
Go to the link for the story and peruse the comments.
Quite heartening.

Hmm Another reason to buy your firearms from a private party or maybe a gunshow. If you go through a “legal” firearms dealer the govt will have access to what you own and when they decide you are no longer safe, they will confiscate them.

The teaching exams were so lowered in the mid-60's to allow dumb and unqualified Blacks to pass that it has continued to do the same for everyone else to this day.
Teaching was once a respected and honored profession.

I plan on taking that money and setting my kids up in business. If they want to be a doctor/lawyer, etc then we will have to get more creative.

I was not parodying anyone.
I think it’s a fact, kids talk differently. It’s also true that nervousness in one can seem like aggression.
I tried teaching for a while. I wasn’t very good. I’d get nervous before class, worried mostly about being perceived as dumb. The more I prepared, the worse the class. A few years after quiting, I saw a former student, and he asked me why I was always mad.
Maybe the teacher was a Nervous Nellie. But if she thought she saw something, she did right to talk to her boss. It appears the boss told her to call the cops.
And, it seems to me the cops went overboard with their interrogation.
FWIW, I agree with the kid, and don’t fault him at all.
I think concealed carry would mean fewer cops.
I also agree, rereading what I wrote sounds pretty much like liberal mindrot. But the story sounds a little more complicated than just a free speech incident.
