Forced to cancel my talk at USU after receiving death threats because police wouldn't take steps to prevent concealed firearms at the event.

I'm so sorry that had to happen. Are you still considering doing campus speaking events? Or will this cancel any future hopes?

Local police definitely more interested in protecting the right to carry a gun everywhere over people's right not to be murdered.
