The CNM Shooting Club believes that carrying firearms should be legal on campus, Mitchell Jackson, CNM Shooting Club president, said.
Illegal weapons are brought on campus, and the issue has not been addressed, he said.
“The law-abiding, licensed individuals that could make a difference in the event of a school shooting are following the law. We know they don’t have a weapon, but there are weapons at the school,” he said.
To protest the ban of firearms on campus, the shooting club is holding an Empty Holster Protest, which began on April 8 and runs through April 12, Jackson said.
