SAF, SCCC Hosting ‘Supporting Campus Concealed Carry Forum August 8th 2011
BELLEVUE, WA --(Ammoland.com)- The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), in cooperation with Students for Concealed Carry on Campus (SCCC), is hosting a forum “Supporting Concealed Carry on Campus” on Monday, August 8th at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Noon to 5 p.m.
The forum is free and open to the public.
This event will feature a Gun Free Zones debate between Colin Goddard of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and John Lott, author of More Guns, Less Crime.
An academic panel that includes Prof. Nelson Lund (George Mason University), Prof. Bob Cottrol (George Washington University) and Prof. Joyce Lee Malcolm (George Mason University) is also on the program.
Another panel will discuss legislation supporting campus concealed carry. This panel includes Texas State Sen. Jeff Wentworth, Wisconsin Rep. Evan Wynn and Idaho Rep. Erik Simpson.
Also appearing is Attorney Alan Gura, who successfully argued the cases of District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago resulting in U.S. Supreme Court rulings that struck down the handgun ban in Washington, D.C. as a violation of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms and the handgun ban in Chicago by incorporating the Second Amendment to all fifty states through the Fourteenth Amendment.
Student panels will discuss the campus concealed carry efforts as well as personal experiences of self-defense and crime on college campuses.
Other speakers include SAF Founder Alan Gottlieb and Students for Concealed Carry on Campus President Dan Crocker.
Somebody from the Brady Campaign vs John Lott in a debate about gun-free zones? I thought it was supposed to be a debate, looks more like a massacre to me. John Lott will wipe the floor with the guy, then throw him out.
I just heard from Dick Heller that he is going to be there, too.
Wish I lived closer—I’d love to see a live debate between Mr. Lott and whoever shows up from the “brady bunch”—LOL!
