Students for Concealed Carry on Campus at Indiana University

Welcome to the Students for Concealed Carry on Campus at Indiana University page.

The national Students for Concealed Carry on Campus organization is a non-partisan, grassroots organization comprised of over 24,000 college students, faculty members, parents, and concerned citizens (about 90% college students and 10% faculty, parents, and concerned citizens) who support the right of concealed handgun license holders to carry concealed handguns on college campuses. In the wake of recent school shootings such as the massacre at Virginia Tech SCCC contends it is now abundantly clear that “gun free zones” serve to disarm only those law abiding citizens who might be able to mitigate such tragedies. Both the membership and the leadership of SCCC are made up of individuals with very diverse political backgrounds. Among SCCC’s organizers you'll find at least one conservative Republican, at least one liberal Democrat, and at least one moderate Independent. Because SCCC fully supports states' rights, it is our policy to push for change at the state level, rather than at the federal level. The first step is to see "colleges" removed from the lists of places listed as "off limits" by the concealed carry laws in many states. The next step is to see other states follow Utah's lead in prohibiting state (tax subsidized) colleges from enacting their own bans on concealed carry. SCCC supports the legalization of CONCEALED carry by LICENSED individuals on COLLEGE campuses. SCCC has no official position on open carry, unlicensed concealed carry, or concealed carry on the campuses of primary or secondary schools. Students for Concealed Carry on Campus is not affiliated with the NRA, a political party or any other organization.
