UPDATE II: According to the police report (posted in the interest of the public), Christian probably drives a gray Honda. Remember that he will not have a firearm with him, although he will be able to attack you with his stunning wit, assuming you can get him out of the car somehow.
UPDATE: Christian Trejbal, insouciant reporter of the year, is still up to his stick-poking activities. His latest editorial is about how he refuses to yield the right of way to drivers with stickers and/or license plates that have messages he disagrees with. I challenged him to a boxing match in the comments section of his online column, and I am 95% sure that comment will never be published. Let us hope that Christian never decides to fail to yield to me in the left lane. That would be a memorable event for both of us, I am quite sure.
It appears the first address I posted was his work location, but if you want to find or contact this smarmy reporter, here are some pointers:
Christian Trejbal lives at 2502 Fairway Dr., Roanoke VA, 24015

ORIGINAL POST: Ah, those goofy philosophy nerds turned small-time journalists. Gotta love ‘em. They do so enjoy poking people in the eyes with their lovingly sharpened sticks.
Enter Christian Trejbal, jerk-off editorialist for The Roanoke Times. Trejbal writes:
Today is the start of Sunshine Week, the annual week in which we reflect on the importance of open government and public records. To mark the occasion, I want to take you on an excursion into freedom of information land. We’re going to find out who in the New River Valley has a concealed handgun permit.
I can hear the shocked indignation of gun-toters already: It’s nobody’s business but mine if I want to pack heat.
Au contraire. Because the government handles the permitting, it is everyone’s business.
Trejbal somehow convinced his publication it was a good idea to publish the names and home addresses of every concealed carry permit holder in the state of Virginia.Nice going. The comments on his editorial web site are overwhelmingly negative.
Of course, Christian Trejbal does not have a concealed carry permit, so he would probably make a better victim than those he chose to single out. His home address is public record too, and here it is:
CHRISTIAN J TREJBAL
675 SCHOOL LN
CHRISTIANSBURG, VA 24073
If you would like to visit Christian some time, to discuss the social issues of the day or whatnot, here is a convenient Google Map to his house.
It will be interesting to see what sort of civil liability suits might come out of Mr. Trejbal’s ill advised and arrogant notions about social responsibility at the expense of people’s right to privacy.

HOORAY!!!! Great job exposing this little twit’s personal information! I hope lots of people who now know that he’s defenseless (and senseless) will stop in to say “howdy” real soon.
Here is what I wrote about the same event:
http://kindlingman.wordpress.com/2007/03/19/public-information-a-right-to-know/
Heh.
My mom even thinks this guy is an a-hole…
My Mom Is Cool.
Hmmm I do not want to waste the time or money to go visit him.. but I can get a favor from a buddy who is willing to build a flame script for his email box. LOL
But alas.. I am too much of a nice guy.. I will just categorize this gentlemen as people who are wasting the gene pool.
Yes, perhaps it is childish to challenge a grown man to a boxing match for something he said. I don’t expect him to respond.
What I want Mr. Trejbal to understand, however, is that anytime a person opens his mouth publicly, there may be a consequence. Am I threatening the guy? Not at all. I am not going to randomly attack him.
I just wanted him to realize that words can often lead to actions. What if his poorly thought out public release of information that should stay private leads to someone killing their ex-wife? I suppose you wouldn’t hold him responsible?
Hey Trev,
If he does accept your challange, can I stand in for you? Pleeeaaassse?
Stan
Assuming he would ever accept my challenge (he won’t), I would give him the option of fighting my stand-in if he wanted.
I’m not a gun owner but if you want a weapon you’ve got every right to have one.
I also believe you should be able to carry your weapon. The only thing I disagree with is the ability to carry it concealed. It’s my opinion, you should be able to carry your guns, but only out in the open. That will allow me to avoid all contact with you.
As long as you are willing to wear a t-shirt with a list of all your past sexual partners including phone numbers and any STDs you have contracted, then I completely agree that I should have to wear my weapons openly.
You betcha I’m willing. But there would only be one phone number and one name.
Sorry no STD’s here.
Great retort, Scott!
I still don’t think your logic relating to open carry is sound though. If you forced the law abiding to carry openly, then you would easily be able to spot all law abiding gun owners, and that might give you a nice warm sense of security in being able to avoid those folks.
Criminals, however, could care less whether you want them to carry openly or concealed. They will do whatever they want to do. You would therefore have no more security than you do now, and you would be legislating reduced security for the law abiding gun owners you were forcing to open carry.
Bad idea.
I don’t get it!
When I was young, back in the ’50s, 1850s that is, we carried our 45s openly and we learned how to draw real quick. Only way to survive when some youngster without a spit of sense saw us toting and wanted to make somethin’ of it. (Course I’m talkin’ about those arrogant cowboys that eventually made it into the movies of the 50’s and 60s — 1950s and 60s, I mean.)
I don’t carry. I’m still alive and well, and except for the crazies and accidental dischargers, I expect to live another 30 or 40 years.
Dad,
Your last sentence is the key. Except for the crazies. The difference between you and I is that I take a more proactive view when it comes to dealing with the crazies. I want to be able to shoot back.
I don’t require you to keep a gun in your house, and you have no right to regulate whether I keep one in mine. Simple, easy, elegant.
