GWL holders choosing to carry on campus have been just as safe as they are everywhere else in the state.

TOMORROW, Amanda Collins-Johnson will speak at Kennesaw State University to defend Georgia’s decision to allow university students 21+ with a concealed carry permit to protect themselves on campus.

As administration, legislators, and students tirelessly attempt to reverse, weaken, and abandon their peers’ right to carry, Collins-Johnson will use her personal story of surviving r**e to establish that students, particularly women, need the option to effectively defend themselves against campus r**e and sexual assault.

The lecture will be in the English Building, Room 250 from 5:00-6:30pm. If you are community, please contact Young Americans for Freedom at Kennesaw State University for permission to attend.
