2009-04-17 - SCCC Announces Its Third National Collegiate Empty Holster Protest Rss

Students for Concealed Carry on Campus will hold its third national collegiate Empty Holster Protest during the week of April 20-24, 2009.  Thousands of college students throughout the United States, organized under the banner of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus (SCCC), will attend classes wearing empty holsters, in protest of state laws and school policies that stack the odds in favor of dangerous criminals and armed killers by disarming law abiding citizens licensed to carry concealed handguns virtually everywhere else. 
 


The protest will focus on sharing the facts of concealed carry with students and faculty who may not be aware that concealed carry laws exist or that those laws differ on college campuses from most other locations.

Students for Concealed Carry on Campus will neither host nor endorse any protests during the week of April 13-17.  April 16 is to be a day of remembrance for the students, faculty, and families affected by the Virginia Tech shooting.  SCCC wishes to avoid any action that might distract or detract from the memory of the individuals lost on April 16, 2007.
