Nittany Lions For Concealed Carry Will ‘Holster Up’ This Week

If you see anyone wearing a holster around campus this week, don't be alarmed. As a part of a national movement, Penn State students who support carrying concealed weapons on campus will be wearing these empty holsters all week to protest the campus's ban on concealed weapons.

The national organization, known as Students for Concealed Carry (SCC), consists of "more than 43,000 college students, professors, college employees, parents of college students, and concerned citizens who believe that holders of state-issued concealed handgun licenses should be allowed the same measure of personal protection on college campuses that current laws afford them virtually everywhere else" according to their website. The organization was formed after the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007.
