Striving For an A+ Grade in Firearms Carry 101

Weapons grade: Students fight to pack heat - College kids wear gun holsters to protest bans on concealed carry

quote:

"Recent high-profile shootings and armed abductions on college campuses clearly demonstrate that 'gun-free zones' serve to disarm only those law-abiding citizens who might otherwise be able to protect themselves," the SCCC website states.

SCCC lists 24 states that expressly prohibit concealed carry on college campuses by those with valid concealed handgun licenses and permits: Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Wyoming. Texas specifically prohibits concealed firearms on campus but allows individual colleges to "opt out" of the law.

An additional 15 states "right-to-carry" states – Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia – let colleges decide whether to allow concealed carry on campus. Licensed individuals who are caught with firearms on campus may not be held criminally liable, but they may be expelled or fired by the colleges.

SCCC states, "Utah is the only state to allow concealed carry at all public colleges/universities, by prohibiting public colleges/universities from creating their own restrictions."

And so it goes. It has been demonstrated on multiple occasions that the universities can not protect their students, but still they do not want students to be able to protect themselves. How stupid is that?
