Socolow Quoted in Morning Sentinel Article on Gun Tattoo Debate

Michael Socolow, an associate professor in the Department of Communication and Journalism at the University of Maine, was quoted in a Morning Sentinel article about a Norridgewock man whose gun tattoo was mistaken for a real one by police. The incident sparked a national media debate about gun rights and civil liberties with some people saying police overreacted. “A realistic gun tattoo is so rare that the situation is really unique,” Socolow said.
