Muzzled Police Chief Speaks Out

Boise Police Chief Mike Masterson has sent out a guest opinion, entitled, “Why a police leader feels compelled to take his message directly to the people,” urging Idaho citizens to contact their legislators about SB 1254, the bill to allow guns on Idaho’s public college campuses, where they’re now banned.

Question: Did Sen. McKenzie inadvertently give Chief Masterson and other police chiefs a bigger audience by denying him the right to speak against McKenzie’s guns-on-campus bill?
