February 20, 2012 — Students for Concealed Carry (SCC) is pleased to announce the first overhaul of its online presence in nearly three years. The revamped site offers a refreshed look to complement the organization’s new logo and recent name change.
In addition to the design changes, a revamped framework will allow SCC to put more control into the hands of our campus leaders and state directors. Over the next few months, SCC will begin to roll out new state sites for our most active regions. These new sites will be maintained by our state leaders, the dedicated volunteers who have the most up to date information about what is happening on their campuses.
We’ve already launched this initiative with our Texas chapter, and Texans can now find up to date information about events in their state at texas.concealedcampus.org. For states without dedicated sites, our members can still find everything they need to know about their state’s leadership and available opportunities at concealedcampus.org/states.
ABOUT: Students for Concealed Carry is a national, non-partisan, grassroots organization comprising over 40,000 college students, professors, employees, parents and concerned citizens who believe that licensed concealed carry permit holders should be allowed the same measure of personal protection on college campuses that they enjoy off-campus.

Earlier today (12/8/2011 @ noon ET), a routine traffic stop at Virginia Tech turned deadly. A police officer conducting the stop as well as a second individual were shot and killed, apparently the same assailant. At the time of this post (3pm ET), the status of the assailant is unknown and Virginia Tech remains on lockdown.
Students for Concealed Carry offers our condolences the victims, and deepest hopes that the suspect(s) responsible be brought to justice.
SCC also sadly recognizes this incident proves yet again that nothing has changed at Virginia Tech. The college still entertain delusional beliefs that signs and stickers will prevent illegal weapons on campus, even as they protest paying fines for their failing to notify students of the initial murders preceding the worst shooting spree in history three years ago.
This latest event shows evil people still exist in the world and all the laws in the world will not stop them from committing violent crime. Guns are not the solution to every problem, but they are a solution to some problems – a solution completely ruled out by college campuses in Virginia and nationwide.
With licensed campus carry now a successful policy at over two hundred campuses in six states without incident, it is time for Virginia Tech and colleges nationwide to end the ban on campus self-defense.
Expecting a sign saying an area is a “gun free zone” to work is a dangerous and deadly fiction.
