BOWLING GREEN Ky.
A group of Western Kentucky University students are planning a protest next month to decry a campus policy banning guns.
An online group pushed for the protests nationally after the April 16 shootings at Virginia Tech.
“It’s called the empty holster protest,” Western Kentucky University student Nathan Hayes said. “In support for allowing concealed carry on campus.”
He said students licensed to carry guns should be able to bring them to campus.
Western Kentucky’s policy bans all guns on campus.
School officials said despite the protest, scheduled for the week of Oct. 22, they would not consider changing the school’s gun policy.
