I support TAKE BACK THE NIGHT. Maybe Representative Ouimet can too, by offering a bill that would require concealed carry and weapons training be provided for all Michigan high school women, when they take the US and Michigan Constitution class. Chase Ingersoll

I definitely do NOT support TAKE BACK THE NIGHT; I regard it as local political theater by nutballs. Nonetheless, I agree with you completely that concealed carry and weapons training is a good idea for any woman, who are far more likely targets for assault and crime than a cranky old former Marine. Want to take back the night? Start by taking responsibility for your own safety and defense. And stop blaming men as a gender for all of your problems; but that would be too much to hope for from Ann Arbor and the U of M.
