Good for that judge. How ridiculous is that students couldn’t bring empty holsters for a empty holster protest.Does that mean an empty holster can’t be worn at any time? An empty holster is just a ……. an accessory.
Oh well. Glad they won……
A federal judge has ruled the First Amendment Rights of two Tarrant County College students were violated when the community college prohibited their attempts to stage an empty holster protests last fall. The two students, with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, filed suit against TCC.
The two students, with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, filed suit against TCC. The protests were advocating a change in state law to allow licensed concealed handgun owners to bring their guns on to campus. But the lawsuit and subsequent trial were viewed as a debate over free speech rather than gun rights.
“We’re really pleased with Judge Mean’s opinion,” said ACLU attorney Lisa Graybill. “The ruling permanently enjoins Ms. Hadley from stopping these protests. They’re going to be able to wear their holsters in the classroom.”
