Some North Carolina State University students are carrying empty gun holsters this week to protest for the right to carry concealed weapons on campus.

The students are part of a national organization called Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. About 20 members of the group are taking part in this week's protest.

Weapons laws on NC State's campus cannot be changed by the university. They must be changed by the state government of North Carolina.

Why should college students be carrying concealed weapons on campus anyway? Concealed weapons + hormones = NO; concealed weapons + school rivalries = NO; concealed weapons + binge drinking = NO.
