So was he threatening anyone, waving it around like a madman, or maybe carrying a rifle case? Or was it concealed carry, but someone caught a glimpse or maybe open carry? Even the comments here show just what affect the left has had on society concerning firearms, and that people should automatically be afraid.

Was the gun victimizing the man in any way?

The crazies are coming out of the woodwork, its at this time of the year and certain historical birthdays of figures of notoriety that makes these individuals more insane.

Lock and load people.

This happened at Arizona State University, too.
Problem is, the ‘man’ was actually a military formation of drilling ROTC cadets and the person reporting the ‘man’ was a hoplophobe.

I know plenty who carried at MTSU. Let’s hope it’s not someone with ill intent.
