Top 5 Reasons to Allow Concealed Carry on Campus

[shadowrider]

1. Only Licensed, Legally-Armed Citizens Would Carry.

Students for Concealed Carry does not advocate “arming students.” Our proposals do not change who can carry, but where. We believe that professors, ROTC cadets, ex-Marines, evening students or anyone who already carries a concealed weapon under existing law is no different on campus than they are off-campus. After all, under current law, armed citizens can carry a concealed weapon into literally thousands of places throughout their state, including movie theaters, restaurants, banks, shopping malls, churches and grocery stores, and have done so responsibly for years.

State laws generally require a comprehensive FBI criminal background check, fingerprints, classroom instruction and live-fire certification. Consequently, legally-armed citizens already have training and experience with firearms, and have demonstrated responsibility. Whether or not you support concealed carry, it’s already an existing right in most states. In view of this, prohibiting these same responsible concealed carry on a college campus doesn’t make sense.
