College Campus Safety Updates

From South Dakota:

"A bill passed this week by a House committee would guarantee people the right to carry or possess firearms on the campuses of South Dakota's public universities.HB1261 would also prevent schools from expelling students or firing employees for having a gun on campus."

A huge step forward for safety on South Dakota college campuses! Read about it here.


From Students for Concealed Carry on Campus:

The grassroots group Students for Concealed Carry on Campus has announced it is organizing another national Empty Holster Protest for this spring. The Spring 2008 "EHP" will be held from April 21-25. Campus leaders are encouraged to contact national SCCC organizers about other activities to hold on their campus to make the EHP even more successful.

Their first protest this past fall garnered national media attention, and drew attention to the fact that students, staff and faculty have no means of defense on most college campuses, which ban the carry of legal self defense sidearms. Great job!
