Dana Loesch, author of Hands Off My Gun, has canceled a book signing event scheduled at Texas Christian University on Sunday. She writes in a blog post:

Regrettably, today's signing event for Hands Off My Gun at the TCU Bookstore from 2-3:30 central is canceled. I was really looking forward to this but unfortunately am uncomfortable gambling with my own, my family's, or readers/listeners's security. For my past few signings the venue or my affiliate station provided security as I cannot afford to hire people to carry my gun (while pretending to be anti-gun, as Moms Demand does). We just found out this afternoon that TCU is unable to provide security and because it is a gun-free zone, I am prohibited from lawful carry in place of that security. We had an incident at my signing in Grapevine where a man belligerently pushed his way through the line, yelled at store employees and about how he hated me and Glenn Beck, and when he was told to leave, punched the store's promotional signs on the way out; that, coupled with the threats I receive regularly from anti-2A folks (even a few in the DFW area), I'm just not cool with being a sitting duck somewhere or asking any of you to be also.

I hope you understand and I will make it up to you by rescheduling the event at a different location as soon as humanly possible.

Please accept my deepest apology.

Dana Loesch is the host of her own TV show, "Dana" on Glenn Beck's The Blaze network. In addition, you can hear her daily on her award-winning, highly-rated, syndicated radio show, The Dana Show:The Conservative Alternative, with Radio America on stations across the country.

About the Book:

How many people in America today are truly well-versed in the history of the Second Amendment, and why it was included in the Bill of Rights?

In HANDS OFF MY GUN, Dana Loesch explains why the Founding Fathers included the right to bear arms in the Bill of Rights, and argues that "gun control" regulations throughout history have been used to keep minority populations under control. She also contends that current arguments in favor of gun control are primarily based on emotions and fear.

This narrative is a must-read for every Second Amendment supporter. Dana Loesch is a determined and fierce advocate for those rights and shouts out: hands off my gun!
