" I wish people would have the nerve to post their actual names if what they say is what they truly believe in. I am not starving for attention with my holster. I am engaging in Empty Holster Protest 2011 which hundreds if not thousands of students will be wearing their holsters practicing symbolic speech to raise awareness to the horrible policy of gun free campuses for citizens and not criminals.

" The search was not random and the uw police know my affiliation with Student for Concealed Carry on Campus advocating LEGAL carry on campus which to them must mean I am breaking school policy by bringing a concealed firearm on campus and have been targeting with special treatment because of it. I'm not intimidated and will continue to wear my holster during Empty Holster Protest 2011 despite their threats.
P.S. Meg Lanker is part of the group and supports the cause for people who have concealed firearms permit. "

" First, I was not attempting to intimidate anyone. The wearing of an empty holster was my form of symbolic speech protected under the 1st Amendment and the specific wearing of a holster for symbolic speech has already been protected by federal courts. Sorry AJ but I am not a rightwing radical. Sorry you feel that way about a person who want the rights stated in the Bill of Rights and that an empty holster is dangerous. You seem to be the ignorant one here. I never found out about any threats until after my arrest. "
