It is May. After agreeing to sponsor Santa Barbara City College\u2019s Annual Scramble, a golf tournament that raises funds for the college\u2019s athletic department, Maloney asked if he could set up a table and sign a few books. An author who is helping to sponsor a college fundraiser wants to sign some books? Seems like business as usual. And it was, until the college judged the book <em>Breakfast Ball<\/em> by its cover. Someone at the college got cold feet, and Maloney\u2019s book was banned from the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Though I don\u2019t agree with any violations of the Second Amendment, I would not be surprised if a California college decided to turn down a request to carry a concealed handgun at the golf tournament. I could even imagine a public college opposing the contents of a hypothetical book. Yet this whole debacle would seem to have very little to do with the right to bear actual arms, or the contents of <em>Breakfast Ball<\/em>. Instead it has more to do with the First Amendment. <em>Breakfast Ball<\/em> is a murder mystery, and there is a murder in the book, so the cover included an image of a gun. Some left-handed character is hiding under the green and has managed to stick his hand, and what appears to be a Beretta M9, out of the 18<sup>th<\/sup> hole. It is an absurd, almost comical image coupled with a laughable administrative decision.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19675\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Maloney-cover-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"california-college-bans-book-gun-cover\" title=\"California College Bans  Book because of Gun on the Cover\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19675\" title=\"California College Bans  Book because of Gun on the Cover\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-19675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Maloney-cover-2-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"If the cover of Breakfast Ball caused problems, the cover of Death at the High End is likely to incite riots.\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Maloney-cover-2-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Maloney-cover-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Maloney-cover-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Maloney-cover-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19675\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">If the cover of<em> Breakfast Ball<\/em> caused problems, the cover of <em>Death at the High End<\/em> is likely to incite riots.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Before the tournament began, a representative from the college\u2019s athletic department called and told Maloney that he couldn\u2019t sell or sign copies of his book at the golf tournament. The murder part, that was fine with the SBCC\u2014it was the gun on the cover. That was simply too dangerous. Impressionable golfers might get the wrong idea.<\/p>\n<p><em>Breakfast Ball<\/em> is primarily about golf. Maloney is an acknowledged expert in mortgage origination, too, so there\u2019s a healthy dose of the housing collapse thrown in as well. Write what you know, as the old clich\u00e9 goes.<\/p>\n<p>Maloney knows housing, and he knows golf, but he isn\u2019t as dialed in to gun culture as this controversy might suggest. In fact, when I asked him about the gun on the cover, he replied, \u201cIt is a standard pistol (not a Colt or Ak-47 or anything exotic). But that&#8217;s all I know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I find this last part to be ironic. If I get caught up in a political debate about guns, I can hold my own. As someone who\u2019s taught numerous writing classes (I was a college writing professor in a previous professional life), I advised Maloney that little details like these matter. I doubt there\u2019s a single flaw in any of Maloney\u2019s references to golf or mortgage finance, yet when he couldn\u2019t tell me the make of the pistol on the cover of his book, I knew he needed our help.<\/p>\n<p><em>Breakfast Ball<\/em> is already in print. Maloney\u2019s second in the series, <em>Death at the High End<\/em> (which has a knife and a gun on its cover), has just been released. It is too late to overhaul any gun-related factual errors in either of those, but this is a series, and there are two more books in the works. Maloney\u2019s absurd experience with SBCC has made him one-of-us. Let\u2019s help him make sure his characters\u2019 use of firearms is correct.
