Professor Called Police After Student Presentation | CCSU Recorder

"For CCSU student John Wahlberg, a class presentation on campus violence turned into a confrontation with the campus police due to a complaint by the professor.

On October 3, 2008, Wahlberg and two other classmates prepared to give an oral presentation for a Communication 140 class that was required to discuss a “relevant issue in the media”. Wahlberg and his group chose to discuss school violence due to recent events such as the Virginia Tech shootings that occurred in 2007.

Shortly after his professor, Paula Anderson, filed a complaint with the CCSU Police against her student. During the presentation Wahlberg made the point that if students were permitted to conceal carry guns on campus, the violence could have been stopped earlier in many of these cases. He also touched on the controversial idea of free gun zones on college campuses.

That night at work, Wahlberg received a message stating that the campus police “requested his presence”. 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.

They told Wahlberg that they had received a complaint from his professor that his presentation was making students feel “scared and uncomfortable”.

"“If you can’t 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.”"

What type of crap is this. Why did the police even need to check the background on this guy, unless the professor gave them mis-information. This whole thing stinks. If the professor misrepresented what the kid said she should be disciplined, if the police took it upon themselves to search this guys records without a crime being reported or even suspicion of a crime being reported they should be disciplined.

Sometimes it is not the writer to blame, it is the editor who butchered it.

The other odd thing is that there is no handgun registration in CT. They do however make handgun owners get an eligibility certificate first though.

This is soooooo wack! I don't know if there should be lawsuits, but I think the professor should explain himself. THere are valid arguments for certain candidates (former police officers or MPs) that have had very thorough background checks to recieve conceal carry permits. I don't think the idea of allowing the average student to get a CC permit is a good idea because once you mix guns, emotions, close proximity to other students, and alcohol... Yeah not a good idea

The campus police responded quickly and only 30 died. They were students and have absoultly no right to be doing things like defending themselves. It's so comforting to know only one student defied the gun free zone on campus
