There's Still Some Fight in This Dog

Assemblyman William Horne, D-NV34, has successfully allowed the clock to run out on Senate Bill 231, but he has not killed the movement to achieve shall issue right to carry on Nevada Colleges and Universities. What he has done is alert every criminal to the truth about college campuses in Nevada; there are far to few police officers to secure the safety of the student body, and no one will be armed and able to defend their life against a violent attacker. He has also proven that he has no spine. There are eight members of his committee ready to cast their vote in favor of this bill, but to spite his earlier remarks that he would not block the progress of the bill, he decided to hide behind the locked door of his office in Carson City rather than do the job the people of Nevada hired him to do.  He claims there isn't enough support in his committee or in the full assembly.  If that is the case, why not take a vote and let's find out?  The only thing he is sure of is that he will loose the support of his party and the people likely throwing money at him to keep the people's voice unheard.

By Horne's own testimony, he is a CCW holder. I'm sure he would have no problem getting permission to carry his firearm on college campuses in return for killing a bill that threatens universities ability to infringe upon our rights as students. But as far as the students are concerned, he isn't.

The next step in the movement is to shift our efforts to the Judicial branch of government in Nevada. The first thing every Nevada CCW holder must do is to request permission to carry from the president of all colleges and universities within the Nevada System of Higher Education. These are all public facilities, open to all who may have lawful business there. You never know when some event may be taking place that needs your entrance fee to collect money for various well-meaning causes and student organization. If they want that money from you, they must acknowledge your right to be able to actively participate in your own self defense. When you the permit holder are denied that permission, you must save your denial letter and stay in touch with Nevada Campus Carry, Stillwater Fireams, or the NRA and await direction on how we will proceed.

This is only round one, this fight is not over by a long shot. This fight concerns everyone, even those without CCW's who may not care either way; it's your money they are spending to to maintain their position that they are about the natural rights of all of us.
