A Republican lawmaker in Georgia is pushing for a bill that would allow students to carry concealed firearms on college campuses, despite the reservations of Georgia law enforcement and school security. Kicking off the newly-elected state assembly, state Rep. Charles Gregory (R) introduced four piece of legislation that would weaken gun laws in the state.

Georgia is not alone in considering repealing restrictions on guns on campuses. The state of Indiana is mulling a similar measure as a way to protect against gun violence on campuses, particularly the kind of mass shooting events like that at Virginia Tech or, most recently, the December 14, 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School (CT). 

According to the Brady campaign, “Eighty-six percent of campus police chiefs disagree or strongly disagree that allowing students to carry concealed weapons on campus would prevent some or all campus killings.” But despite the general consensus among law enforcement, the gun lobby led by the NRA is engaged in a serious effort to put guns on school grounds.

The Campaign to Keep Guns Off Campus is urging colleges and universities across the country to band together to oppose the gun lobby’s agenda to push guns into college campuses by signing onto a resolution that opposes legislation that would mandate that colleges and universities allow students to carry concealed handguns on campus. The list of colleges and universities signing the resolution will be provided to lawmakers in states where legislation is pending as a way of showing the educational community’s opposition to such legislation.  As of December 18, 2012, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) and over 355 individual colleges and universities in 39 states have signed the resolution.
