I am an alum of James Madison University and just received this alert from the schools "JMU concealed carry on campus" group.
I think this is great, and encourage as many Virginians/Virginia college alum as possible to write in support of this legislation
PS. I hope the group leader proofread that email before he sent it!!!!
Today I received a phone call from Delegate Robert Marshall. He is proposing a bill to the Virginia House of Delegates which would allow professors to carry handguns concealed on campus. He asked for our support by emailing the Speaker of the House requesting him to send this bill to committee. I have included below my email to the Speaker. If you have the time, please send something SIMILAR (please don't make it the same email) requesting him to move this Bill along. It would also be nice if you could send a BCC to Del. Marshall so he knows how much support we have behind him. We will still push for students to be allowed to carry, but allowing professors is a step in the right direction.... thanks again guys

I am a Campus Leader with "Students for Concealed Carry on Campus" representing a chapter at James Madison University. The SCCC is a national organization of 35,000 students and faculty advocating licensed individuals over the age of 21 to carry concealed handguns on campus for personal protection from violent crime.
I am writing in reference to House Bill 1656 from which Delegate Robert Marshall is the patron. While the SCCC would like to see the right to carry not denied to any adult on campus (students included) we see allowing professors to carry on campus a great step in the right direction. We feel by allowing professors to carry their handguns concealed on campus that our universities would be better prepared for an attack similar to the one that occurred at Virginia Tech. That being said, as a representative of the SCCC I ask you to refer this bill to comitte and encourage committe members to vote in its favor. Furthermore, we would appretiate your support as a co-patron on this bill.
Again thank you for your time, and thank you for considering personal protection at our public universities to be a top priority.
I think this is great, and encourage as many Virginians/Virginia college alum as possible to write in support of this legislation
