For those of us who can not make it, will you be able to give us a report on how it goes?  Or better yet, let us know if it will be covered by C-SPAN or on-line.

No C-SPAN; I'll see about getting video online. If only there was a firearms website that allowed users to upload video ...

I'm working on getting video of the event, but it was awesome. We did an empty holster protest ala concealedcampus.org and we got the Denver Post (http://www.denverpost.com/education/ci_7372249) and two television news stations (http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/14518834/detail.html) to cover the event. So, Michael, want to meet with the CU brass and see if we can replicate the success you had with the NFS?

Looks like video of Dave Kopel speech will not be available. I am very sorry.
