It is also my responsibility as a teacher to protect the well being of our students, and the campus community at all times, she wrote in a statement submitted to The Recorder. As such, when deemed necessary because of any perceived risks, I seek guidance and consultation from the Chair of my Department, the Dean and any relevant University officials. Somebody has been educated WAYYY beyond their intelligence.

The reason I'm aware of this is that Duke University claimed that their police force had no investigative powers and therefore could not check out the claim of rape against three lacrosse players. So Duke turned it over to the Durham PD.

#1. I would find a lwyer who could cobble together a lawsuit.
#2.
Upon entering the police station, the officers began to list off firearms that were registered under his name, and questioned him about where he kept them.???
Who keeps guns that are registered under their real name??

In 1970 I was on the 8th grade rifle team at my Jr High school. We shot .22’s in the school gymnasium.

I was a bit nervous when I walked into the police station, Wahlberg said, but I felt a general sense of disbelief once the officer actually began to list the firearms registered in my name. I was never worried however, because as a law-abiding gun owner, I have a thorough understanding of state gun laws as well as unwavering safety practices.
I guess right there I would have sworn out a complaint against the professor saying that she was making him uncomfortable and threating. I mean she could give him an “F” for nnot agreeing with his presentation. OH, and also she ASK him to do this assignment. So the police and the professor are threatening his 1st & 2nd amendment rights. OH YA sue and ask for an apology.

Completely irrelevant but funny. Line from the new TV series Dollhouse.
Guy handing a gun to Eliza Dushku: “Do you know how to use this thing?”
Eliza Dushku replies: “I have four brothers, none of them Democrats”.

It is a bit unnerving - when you buy a firearm in CT you do fill out paperwork that goes to the State (in addition to the paperwork that remains with the dealer), and IIRC there are no limitations described on that form as to what may be done with the data.
It would be interesting to find out (through an FOIA action?) all communications between the campus police and the state regarding this matter. Unfortunately, in this Democrat-infested state, it's almost a given that any such action to obtain that kind of information would be doomed to failure, laws or no laws.
A government apparatchik can always find a way to say "No" to the public. Similarly, a government apparatchik can always find a way to say "Yes" to anything that can deprive a citizen of their rights. Still, inquiring minds want to know - Was it handled through some kind of official channel or through a back door? Is firearm registration data considered to be a public record? If not, what are the rules for who may have access and how they may have access, what uses of the data are permissible, etc.
As the "Joe the Plumber" incident illustrated so graphically, you can not trust any government body to keep from misusing data and or government resources to deprive citizens of their rights.

No one thought anything about it... I would go goose or duck hunting with friends & brother before school and kept a car load of shotguns in the parking lot. Guys would refinish gun stocks in shop class.
Over half the pick ups in town had gun racks in the rear window... Including the first two trucks I had...

Rule One: The police call, and want you to stop by and answer a few questions.
Your IMMEDIATE next action should be to call your lawyer. NEVER speak to the police without a lawyer present. ..

OK good point. A good lawyer can make the police look pretty stupid.

Growing up in in households where you respected adults, authority, guns, rules, the Word of God, sportsmanship, living things, a dollar, womanhood, and never having to learn any of the aforementioned more than once, shooting on a markmanship team in junior high wasn’t really very much out of the ordinary.

If you cant talk about the Second Amendment, what happened to the First Amendment? asked Sara Adler, president of the Riflery and Marksmanship club on campus. After all, a university campus is a place for the free and open exchange of ideas.Apparently not.

Campus police in CT are just like regular police. In fact they go through more rigorous training than municipal police, but less than state police.
They are not ‘rent-a-cops’.
