I oppose any and all attempts to force colleges and universities to allow the carrying of firearms on their premises (i.e., classrooms, dormitories).
To that end, I ask the following:
1) if our state currently prohibits guns on campus by law, fight to keep this law in place, or
2) if our state forces colleges to allow guns on campus, work to change that law.
Why is this important?
The overwhelming majority of the 4,400 colleges and universities in the United States prohibit the carrying of firearms on their campuses. These gun-free policies have helped to make our post-secondary education institutions some of the safest places in the country.
An increasingly extreme pro-gun movement in the USA is promoting legislation and litigation to force colleges and universities to allow concealed guns on campus. As a result, schools in Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, Utah, Texas and Wisconsin have now been forced in different ways to allow the carrying of firearms on their premises (i.e. campus grounds, classrooms, dormitories, or parking lots).
Please sign our petition and your message will be sent to your Governor.
Thank you.
