While I don't like retaliation for free speech, I think this guy asked for what he got, and I wouldn't support him.
However, the last little nugget is what gets to me the most. Hey, great! The Board will vote to ban guns from their meetings. I'm sure that, just like the butthead that was shooting at, but couldn't hit board members last month, that those bent on mayhem will pause to consider the regulation. Sure they will!

Radio Station Owner's Concealed Weapons Permit Revoked After Dispute Over Martin Luther King Jr. Editorial
Published January 16, 2011 FoxNews.com
A local school board member and radio station owner under fire for airing an inflammatory editorial denouncing Martin Luther King Day has had his concealed carry permit revoked after he threatened a rival radio station owner to a "shootout."
Brad Reese, who has been airing an editorial four times daily on his station KELS-FM denouncing slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. as a degenerate embezzler, a "plastic god" and "an America-hating communist," is also facing retribution from the school board on which he serves.
The Mountain States Anti-Defamation League has asked Reese to stop broadcasting the editorial, which contains statements that appear verbatim on a website with links to a white supremacist group.
The Denver Post reported Sunday that Reese's concealed carry permit was revoked by the Weld County sheriff and he was served with a restraining order after he threatened a rival radio station owner with a "shootout" if the station's ad sales team didn't stop calling businesses that underwrite Reese's non-commercial station.
Reese reportedly said he was receiving threats for airing the editorial and wanted to carry his gun to school board meetings for protection. But the Greeley-Evans school board, which passed a resolution denouncing the editorial as "inflammatory and detrimental to our district and community," plans to prevent that.
The board will vote Tuesday on a policy to ban weapons from all school property, including administration buildings where board meetings are held, the Denver Post reported.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I hope this is the real reason why his CCW was revoked:
"...he threatened a rival radio station owner with a "shootout" if the station's ad sales team didn't stop calling businesses that underwrite Reese's non-commercial station."
The other stuff falls under free speech IMHO even if this guy is an asshole.
Leonard: don't you know criminals always check on the regulations before commiting a crime. Surely Jared Loughner wouldn't have shot Giffords with a concealed glock had Arizona not passed a general concealed carry law. At least this is what Sarah Brady is saying.
