Florida State Shooting Victim had Concealed Carry Permit but was NOT Allowed to Carry on campus by Onan Coca

The evidence is clear, constitutional gun ownership saves lives and gun free zones end them.

The latest example comes to us from the horrible shooting at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida.

A couple of weeks ago a gunman entered the library at FSU and shot three students before being gunned down by police himself. The FSU campus is a “gun free zone” where law abiding gun owners are stripped of their right to carry. Of course, while law-abiding citizens leave their guns at home… criminals see no reason to obey the “gun free zone” signs and carry their firearms wherever they want. Which is EXACTLY what happened at FSU.

Nathan Scott is a concealed carry permit holder, as well as a concealed carry activist who is highly trained and has the necessary skills to carry his firearm. Gun-FreeHowever, since he was on FSU’s campus, he was without the ability to defend himself. Also on scene was a U.S. Army veteran with more than enough training to help combat the threat, but of course he too had been disarmed by the “gun free” signs.

See what happens folks? “Gun free” signs only take guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, not criminals looking to commit violent acts.

“The events of the last week in Tallahassee make plainly clear that it is unacceptable for responsible students who have gone to training, had extensive background checks, had their fingerprints taken, are of legal age, and are licensed by the state to be prevented from carrying their self-defense weapons on campus,” reads a release from Students for Concealed Carry at FSU, of which Scott is a member.
