Calling all PSU students/staff/faculty:
Concealedcampus.org is organizing an "
Empty Holster Protest" in response to rules at universities like ours that prevent concealed weapon permit-holders from carrying on campus. The protest will run during the week of Oct. 22-26. Basically all you need to do is find a holster and wear it all week, and of course be ready to answer questions and engage in conversations about gun rights. An obvious connection is that only a person with a LTC could have stopped the VT shootings, but there are other angles as well--there have been serious crimes committed in the area that could have been prevented by someone with a weapon. See
here, for one news story from last year; there are many other examples.
If you're not going to be on the PSU campus that week but would like to help, consider loaning/donating an old or extra holster to a student who doesn't have one but who would like to participate.
Either way, post here or send me a PM if you'd like to participate.
Thanks everyone!
