Tonik Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Below is all I know about it. Short version, dude goes to a Trayvon rally with an empty holster in plain sight. People around him don't take it to well and call the cops. Detain him for 30 minutes, let him go and forward it to Committee of Academic Misconduct for further review.I do get the feeling he was kind of there to cause a scene. But that is just my opinion.http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/node/8297 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagr Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yeah. I know the guy. A few here do. He is also the organizer of OSUs Buckeyes for concealed carry. I can tell you he is not an instigator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 It's a protest thing for ccw on collage campuses you're suppose to wear an empty holster in support. Buckeyes for Conceal Carry was part of that for carry on campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jst2fst Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Sidenote I've talked the cop in the vid who arrested him actually talked to him about the issue cool guy. Back the the op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shittygsxr Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 It was only in plain sight for the photograph used in the article in the Columbus dispatch. His shirt coverered the holster during the time I was with him, just before this event. The event was not about trevon, it was about racial intolerance. That night there was no tolerance for a white man with a beardHe was not there to cause trouble or support either side but to express that he wished that people would let the law do its job and save judgement for a time when all of the evidence was presented.

I wonder how this turns out.I am not sure which one of the eight units dispatched that jst2fst had the pleasure of speaking to but I am sure they are all nice guys.I am eagerly awaiting the 911 audio, if it is as described I truly hope that the OSUPD takes proper action against those who filed the report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I heard it I was texting mike then the "oh shit it is him" set in. It is a shitty situation that is only going to get worse. Again he is not an instigator. Probably one of the nicest people any one can have the pleasure of meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 The audio on the vid said someone called and said someone had a firearm on them that's why they came. All witnesses were inside of the library just some of the audio I got. Shitty the cop talking the one I've spoken to cool guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 It's a protest thing for ccw on collage campuses you're suppose to wear an empty holster in support. Buckeyes for Conceal Carry was part of that for carry on campus.There is a time and a place for everything, but this vigil was neither the time nor the place for a carry protest. I fully support carry, I will remind everyone that I was part of the Cleveland Heights protest, I was on the news and helped fund that lawsuit. This is not good press, it is not going to further the cause at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An open display of the holster as part of a week long protest or it was concealed and people just picked him to call the cops and say 'man with a gun'? Not giving you a hard time, it is an honest question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not giving you a hard time, it is an honest question.I wasn't at the event but I am gathering some of the details.There was a week long open holster protest and the holster in question was an outside the waistband holster so it was not intended to be concealed. Whether it was 100% visible or not, I can not answer. The call to 911 was not an of an inquisitive nature. A crowd of 200 would have dispersed if a gun was present. The 911 call was malicious and false Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imprez55 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Not too surprised unfortunately; OSU is not known for its tolerance to the idea of students concealed carrying. I do hope the media doesn't get a hold of this story and put an anti-gun spin on it and that the facts of the event are cleared up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 ^ no they are turning it into a hate crime which is about as far from the truth as you can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
