Empty your holster

"I don't like guns, to be honest with you," said student Ed Pardue, 33, of Charlotte. "But if they have a concealed-carry permit, they should be able to carry anywhere."

That's a common statement that the news media doesn't report. The vast majority of people support the 2nd Amendment, even if they do not own or like guns.

Anywho...on campuses across the U.S. students with CCW's are carrying empty holsters in a sigh of support for the CCW on Campus legislation currently being reviewed by Congress. "We're not necessarily talking about stopping mass shootings," Blatt said. "We're not saying (having concealed weapons on campus) would have prevented it, but it would have leveled the playing field."

Of course, the schools are vehemently against the bill. The philosophy is that more guns is bad and will cause more campus shootings. Well.. these are the same schools that decided that chaining the doors shut would be a good thing and all it did was create more mayhem.
