Students for Conceal and Carry on Campus had a meeting Wednesday evening at FHSU

State Representatives Sue Boldra and  Travis Couture-Lovelady  attended the event.  Couture-Lovelady wrote on his FaceBook page, “I enjoyed speaking at the FHSU Students for Concealed Carry on Campus this evening. Rep. Sue Boldra and I  gave an update and fielded questions on gun bills passed this session. It is great to see college students standing up for their Constitutional rights!”

In February, the FHSU Student Government Association approved a resolution opposing any measure that would allow concealed carry weapons on campus.

Tyler Clark, a conceal and carry advocate on campus told Eagle News, “Just to set a few things straight, at the time of the vote taken by SGA there were 80 students in attendance who supported concealed carry who told SGA not to pass their poorly researched resolution.  FHSU will never be able to implement security measures that are better than concealed carry policies. Currently all students are invited to sign a petition on campus in support of allowing carry on campus in August, this has been prepared by students for concealed carry. The best thing that the Regents can do for us is to allow concealed carry on campus to protect our students and Constitutional Rights.”
