A Greeley radio station owner who aired an editorial denouncing the holiday honoring Martin Luther King Jr. has lost his gun permit.

The Greeley Tribune reports the concealed weapon permit was permanently revoked Friday, when a judge also ordered school board member Brett Reese to stay at least 100 yards from a rival radio station owner.

Justin Sasso says Reese threatened "a shootout" over advertisers. Reese has said his remarks were misinterpreted. (The newest last refuge of a scoundrel - Z) He says he'll appeal the judge's decision.

Reese had planned to carry his handgun to school board meetings after receiving death threats for his commentaries denouncing King.

He aired the commentary every day leading up to Martin Luther King Day this week.

Martin Luther King, Jr. - a Modern Saint:

"We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear"

"The time is always right to do the right thing"

"Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek but a means by which we arrive at that goal"

Reese's little radio just had its license renewed which is probably why he thinks he can say any old thing he pleases:
