A January 19 survey of Ohio colleges and universities found most boards and presidents determined to prohibit guns for self-defense despite a new law allowing concealed carry permit holders to be armed on campus. Ohio�s campus carry law was signed by Governor John Kasich (R) on December 19 after lawmakers passed the measure following the November 28 knife and car attack against unarmed Ohio State students. The law removes the state�s ban on campus carry, allowing each college and university system to allow or prohibit campus carry as they see fit.

| There is nothing as of this moment on any Ohio campus keeping bad actors from carrying guns on their campus. That is why our weak Republican legislatures need to require public universities to allow CCW as does Texas. |

| For the safety of everyone, training, usually required when applying for one's CCW, is an absolute must. Only a single crisis accidental shooting from a young adult just becoming acquainted with gun ownership, could undo many self defense gains, along with knowing that such crisis are generally avoidable. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
