| For | Don't let it die! Just give it the opportunity to be voted on! Please make time for it to be considered. Thank you! | Jun-06-2011 |
| For | Shame on you Chairman Horne, the peoples voice deserves to be heard. You still have time to do the right thing! | Jun-05-2011 |
| For | Jun-05-2011 | |
| For | Jun-04-2011 | |
| For | As a minimum, faculty and employees of the Nevada System of Higher Education that hold permits to carry concealed firearms should be authorized to carry on campus. | Jun-02-2011 |
| For | Jun-02-2011 | |
| For | I am a combat vet and the rights I fought for are in the 2nd amendments. | Jun-02-2011 |
| Against | Some years ago, while standing in line at a 7-11, a young man stepped hard on my foot. I looked at him and he said "That's for the C I received in your class." I was glad he didn't have a gun. Put guns all over the campus and you will, I predict, find another angry student who decides he didn't deserve the grade he received and he will shoot someone. Even normal and carefully vetted people get angry and out of control. Allowing guns on campus will end an innocent life sooner or later. Listen to the police. They don't want them there. | Jun-02-2011 |
| For | Please vote in favor of sb231. | Jun-02-2011 |
| For | Responsible, law-abiding citizens who have met the requirements for a CCW permit should be allowed to carry on college campuses. This includes faculty and staff. Criminal acts of violence against unarmed students and faculty might be prevented or minimized by alert, responsible, trained, CCW permit holders. Prevent people on college campuses from being "sitting ducks," because law-abiding citizens did not carry their weapons on campus. This should be extended to K-12 campuses, as well. When lock-downs occur, I have always instructed my children to GET OUT OF THERE! Leave school, so you will not be herded into a classroom--trapped inside a space to be gunned down. | Jun-01-2011 |
| For | Chairman Horne: This bill will save lives. As a legislator you are to listen to the will of the people. Bring this bill to an up or down vote, but don't delay if your think the vote won't go your way. | Jun-01-2011 |
| Against | Only law enforcement officers should be carrying weapons on campus. | Jun-01-2011 |
| Against | As the President and official voice of the entire student body at the College of Southern Nevada, I oppose this bill. If there may be a need to clarify some of the policies and procedures on our campuses, this matter should be handled by the Board of Regents, not the legislators. You are completely slammed with trying to save our state from utter decimation due to budgetary shortfalls. Let this bill die. It's good for our education system; it's good for Nevada. Students across the board have expressed that this bill is a BAD idea and they completely oppose. Thank you for your time and we appreciate your hard work, Aimee Riley President CSN Student Government Cell: 702-207-9146 | Jun-01-2011 |
| For | I am in full support as submitted | Jun-01-2011 |
| For | I appreciate the testimony about letting administrators determine who can carry on campus, however the unofficial word is not to apply if you wish to continue as a student or employee. Campus should b eno differnet than anywhere else in regards to an individual's right to defend themselves. | Jun-01-2011 |
| Against | Guns on UNR's campus? Let's see...that would mean guns in the Student Health Center, the Family Medicine Center, the JCSU movie theater, the Child & Family Research Center, the Lombardi Student Recreation Center, the Davidson Academy, the Speech & Hearing Clinic, the Sanford Center for Aging, the Student Counseling Center, the School of Social Work, ASUN meetings, etc. Guns in any classroom on campus? The Nevada State Legislature thinks that it's okay for *anyone* with a CCW permit to carry guns in any of these places when guns are not allowed in the Legislature, the DMV, DETR, etc? Please explain to me why students, faculty, and staff should be any safer with more guns on campuses when they are prohibited in any other state agency. NSHE already has a policy related to CCW permit holder. Let that policy stay in place. | May-31-2011 |
| Against | Please don't allow guns in my workplace, just as you don't allow guns in yours at the Legislature. | May-31-2011 |
| For | natural law, to self defense | May-31-2011 |
| For | Please pass this bill. Although I don't believe there should be any restrictions on concealed carry, this bill is too important to miss the overal goal of providing the ability for self-protection. It would allow both students and faculty to obtain a CCW permit and lawfully excercise the constitutional right to bear arms for self protection. I have two students (son and daughter) currently attendting UNR. Although UNR does an admirable job protecting the campus, they can't be everywhere. With budget cuts, the UNRPD presence is likely to diminish. I urge you pass SB 231 to allow those who wish to, the ability to excercise their right to self-protection.

| Against | May-31-2011 | |
| Against | Carrying a gun on campus is a receipe for disaster. How will anyone be able to tell who a "bad guy" is when a gun is out? Please continue to rely on trained professionals to use guns. There is NO evidence that carrying a gun would have had a successful conclusion to any prior offences on campus and probably some evidence that having guns would resulted in disaster. Vote NO!!!! | May-31-2011 |
| For | May-31-2011 | |
| Against | As someone who works at UNLV I am completely against this bill. I would NOT feel safe if people were allowed to carry weapons on our campus. Please do not allow our safety to be compromised. | May-31-2011 |
| Against | May-31-2011 | |
| For | Self defense shouldn't end at some imaginary line. The scare tactics used by the anti's, the things they say will happen, such as students getting drunk and shooting each other, have not happened anywhere campus carry is allowed, and is only based on irrational fears and opinions. Nevada wants this. Nevada students need this. Good job on the Senate passing, now it's up to the assembly and the governor. Let's get this bill passed by the fall. | May-31-2011 |
| Against | I am against this measure. As a parent and a former student I don't feel safer having concealed weapons on campus. As a person who occasionally teaches at the Community college this makes me hesitant to teach on campus. The State buildings has a prohibition for concealed weapons the same should be true for our institutions of higher learning. | May-30-2011 |
| Against | May-30-2011 | |
| For | People are able to defend themselves in their own houses & vehicles. Why shouldn't students be able to protect themselves on Campus? Concealed Carry Permittee's have already been thru extensive backgrounds checks & safety training. These are not children who are unable to decide whether they are able to use a firearm, they are adults who have PAID to be on their respective Campus's & as such should have the option to protect themselves if need be. This is not for the Campus Hierarchy to decide; but each individual student. Please allow our students the option to defend themselves & each other, should the occasion arise. Let's not wait until we have our own "Columbine" here in Nevada. Thank you for your time. | May-28-2011 |

| For | Virginia Tech | May-18-2011 |
| For | Every elected official took an Oath to protect and defend the constitution. No where in the constitution does it say I am not afforded my 2nd amendment right to protect myself, because I want to be better educated. | May-12-2011 |

| For | It makes positively no sense to stop CCW holders from carrying on campus and getting permission from a university president to carry their weapon. It is equally important to me to receive information from law enforcement concerning the course availability the bill mentions. | Apr-22-2011 |
| For | As an employee of the University of Nevada Reno, I urge STRONG SUPPORT for this important bill. | Apr-21-2011 |
| For | Apr-21-2011 | |
| For | I strongly support this bill as introduced. I find no reason for any of the amendment other than the requirement to provide storage for firearms. The limit on sporting events will again leave people defenseless against attackers while going to and from the event. If you insist on the amendment, then you should also require storage for firearms in the facilities where they aren’t allowed so citizens can protect themselves going to and from the events. | Apr-21-2011 |

| For | Properly trained persons should have the right to protect themselves anywhere, including college campuses. How many violent acts on college campuses could have been avoided if only a law abiding citizen there had had a firearm? | Apr-16-2011 |
| For | Apr-15-2011 | |
| For | Thsi legislation should be passed from Senate floor to the Assembly. Please don't allow one Senator to de-rail this bill. | Apr-14-2011 |
| For | With cases such as in Virginia and Texas and Arizona it is more apparent than ever that concealed carry can save lives and extending that ability to a campus of higher education is only another place concealed carriers can help. With local situations such as the abduction, rape and murder of Brianna Dennison it is clear that this ammendment could help in many situations. | Apr-14-2011 |
| For | Apr-13-2011 | |
| Against | We are adamantly opposed to allowing weapons on campuses. We have studied the arguments and simply don't buy the rationale that students will be able to protect themselves if they carry firearms. We need to teach civility not firearm safety. That would be a nice change in our society! | Apr-12-2011 |
| For | Please extend CCW Right to carry to our college campuses. Eliminate the "criminal safety zone" on these campuses created by, feel good but a dismal failure, "gun free zone" legislation. My daughter goes to UNLV and I feel she will be safer with CCW on campus, making criminals and madmen look for a safer place for them to ply their trade. | Apr-11-2011 |
| For | When the state of Nevada issues a Concealed Firearms Permit to an individual to legally carry a firearm within the state it only makes sense to allow the permit holder to carry on a college campus. After all anyone who would want to bring a weapon on any campus to do harm does not care one bit about breaking the law. Criminals don’t view the laws as a deterrent to crime. Laws only are a deterrent to the law abiding population. | Apr-11-2011 |

| For | As a retired law enforcement officer, I strongly urge you to support SB 231. This is a common sense bill to eliminate safe zones for crime. Under current law potential victims are prohibited from carrying a firearm for self defense while criminals ignore such laws and prey upon victims that are unarmed. We know that criminals prefer defenseless victims and that the possibility of a victim being armed discourages many crimes. Thank you. | Apr-08-2011 |
| Against | This bill is a recipe for a tragedy. I urge you to not pass this bill. Schools need fewer firearms, certainly not more!! | Apr-08-2011 |
| For | support SB 231. Also, any procedural vote will be counted by the NRA. | Apr-07-2011 |
| For | I encourage you to vote for SB231 and do not let Senator Michael Schneider or other Senators undermine this important piece of legislation. | Apr-07-2011 |
| For | Please support the above bill. Students need to have the right to protect themselves if they are over 18 years. Thank you for your considertion. | Apr-07-2011 |
| For | permit holders should be permitted to carry concealed on any school grounds. bad people can go anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Apr-05-2011 |
| For | No Comment | Apr-04-2011 |
| For | please support this bill | Apr-04-2011 |
| For | This bill will make college campuses safer by ensuring that law abiding citizens have the capacity to protect themselves. Please remember that criminals do not follow the law, so banning firearms from college campuses does absolutely nothing to protect students from criminals. | Apr-03-2011 |
| For | I am a student and also employed by UNLV. I typically spend more than 12 hours on university property, often during late night hours when crime is high. I have a CCW permit and I support the passage of this bill. | Apr-02-2011 |
| Against | There are already ways for people who need them to have guns on campus. Statistics off the National Crime Victim Rights Week website report that violent victimization among college students 18 to 24 is lower than non-students of the same age. 93% of crimes against college students occur OFF Campus, 72% of those at night. 40% of violent crimes against college students were committed by offenders who were percieved by their victims to be using drugs or alcohol. 97 percent of the crime on college campuse | Mar-31-2011 |

| For | We have witnessed enough "scary and quite plausible" scenarios in recent years, namely the V-Tech massacre. Liberal gun-grabbers seem content to allow tragedies such as this to continue. Had someone at the V-Tech campus returned fire, the killer would have been prevented from inflicting so much death. Lets prevent this scenario from happening in Nevada. Vote YES on SB 231. | Mar-29-2011 |
| Against | Do NOT pass this. I can just see the scenario. Someone brings a gun to school and is showing it to someone. Everyone else who is carrying does not know what exactly is happening and starts shooting. Since they don't know who is doimg what, they shoot at whomever has already fired. Scary and quite plausible. Do NOT pass. | Mar-29-2011 |
| For | No Comment | Mar-27-2011 |
| For | I believe that you should be able to carry on campus if you have a CCW, there is no difference between campus and the surrounding community. The areas surrounding most large campuses are filled with unsavory individuals and many students do not park on campus due to classes are closer to parking off campus then to the parking available on campus. Many classes are also at night making it necessary for us to walk through the surrounding neighborhood at night to get to our cars. We need to protect ourselves. | Mar-27-2011 |
| For | No Comment | Mar-26-2011 |
| For | Sensible restoration of our 2nd Amendment Rights. Campus police can't be everywhere to protect the unarmed. We need this to prevent another tragedy like Virginia Tech. It could happen here too. | Mar-25-2011 |
| Against | This state is already saturated with guns. This bill is a ridiculous waste of time. Please devote your time to addressing real problems. | Mar-25-2011 |
| For | In my interpretation of Nevada Laws, other statutes already allow for prohibition of firearms in day care facilities that happen to be on college campuses. Further more, NSHE facilities that are located on K-12 grounds would still be a prohibited location. Nothing contained in this bill or in state preemption would prohibit campus administrators from setting administrative rules requiring students who live in dorms to adequately secure firearms that are not on their person. This bill is a must pas | Mar-25-2011 |
| For | No Comment | Mar-25-2011 |
| For | Licensed citizens should be able to carry their firearms and/or maintain them in their vehicle while attending or visiting campus. I support distribution of training courses and information from our law enforcement professionals, as well as similar private offerings. | Mar-24-2011 |

| For | Nevadans have the right to protect their own lives, the lives of their kin, and their property. We do not need our colleges and universities to be victim-rich kill-zones when no one but the crazies are armed. | Mar-22-2011 |
| For | I completely support this bill. As someone who follows the laws regarding concealed carry, I'd appreciate it if the state of Nevada reciprocated trust in me. | Mar-22-2011 |
| For | My daughter travels to and from College at night but can not even bring her gun because of current laws. This leaves her very venerable to criminals while IN school and traveling to and from school! Criminals KNOW these students have no protection. | Mar-22-2011 |
| For | EVERYONE has the right to carry it just doesn't stop at the University's borders. They especially need to carry there | Mar-22-2011 |
| For | No Comment | Mar-22-2011 |
| For | This bill ensures the rights of the person with a permit are upheld. The campus police will have to adopt policies to follow this law just like any other law enforcement. Their problems are not a valid reason to not pass this bill. | Mar-22-2011 |

| For | Persons who have a CCW should be allowed to defend themselves, whether they are on a school campus or not. Nothing about a college campus makes it less likely for violence to occur, in fact it's more likely. Malls, casinos, churches and other densely populated places allow CCW holders in, why is a open school campus any different? I think this should also apply to regular schools so teachers and parents can protect themselves too. | Mar-19-2011 |
| For | Please pass this bill! | Mar-19-2011 |
| For | It's just common sense. People who are trusted to carry guns in shops, parks, and theaters, can also be trusted on campus. | Mar-18-2011 |

| For | Would help prevent Virginia Tech massacres. If your licensed to carry everywhere else, why not at a college? | Mar-18-2011 |
| For | We should have no laws restricting a law-abiding citizen from owning and carrying firearms. | Mar-18-2011 |
| For | I support this bill and think it will help prevent tragedies such as the Virginia Tech mass murders committed against unarmed victims. I do not think that the bill goes far enough however, and should include ANY public school grounds as legal for licensed CCW holders to carry. | Mar-18-2011 |
| For | The criminals love gun free zones. They know no one will be able to oppose them. This bill takes away the criminls safe place to shoot people. | Mar-18-2011 |
| For | I am a student in Southern Nevada, as well as a US Airman and CCW holder. This law is common sense, as it gives those who are already qualified to carry the means to protect themselves in more places. This bill will not who carries, just where. An invisible arbitrary line only tuns the would be law-abiding into criminals. | Mar-18-2011 |

| For | Adults who have already been trained and then have successfully passed the background check from the police and FBI should be allowed to carry their permitted firearms on campus in defense of their lives and the lives of others. | Mar-17-2011 |
| For | SB231 is long overdue and I hope you will vote to allow a CCW qualified person to carry on our campuses and schools and day care centers. It makes no sense to say that if a person has qualified for a CCW, then to say the person is a danger to others when attending college, a teacher in a school or day care center. We need this kind of protection and deterrent against the types of crimes we have nowadays. Finally some common sense!

| For | As a UNR student with a concealed firearm permit I support this bill. University students are adults and the University has no legal responsibility for our safety. Current law also disarms me on my trips to and from the University at night. The law in Utah allows students to carry, and no problems have resulted. | Mar-15-2011 |
| For | No Comment | Mar-15-2011 |
| For | The University system can't guarantee that criminals and/or mentally unstable people won't come onto their campuses with a firearm. Should that happen I'd like to know that my wife and are able to defend ourselves while we're on campus. This bill is a MUST PASS. | Mar-15-2011 |
| For | As a '08 UNR graduate, I spent my entire college career with my CCW in my pocket and my firearm at home. I was 46 when I graduated. I should have had the ability to carry, my request to the UNR president was denied flatly stating “the campus was safer if everyone was unarmed”. This bill is a MUST PASS. | Mar-15-2011 |
| For | I am very much in favor of this bill. Allow people to protect themselves. If someone decides to create mayhem on a campus. They will have no regard for the law. This bill allows legally permitted citizens to have the tools needed to defend themselves and others. | Mar-15-2011 |
| For | No Comment | Mar-15-2011 |
| For | These "gun free zones" that have been created only invite violence by someone looking to do harm. If a qualified person had a firearm at Virginia Tech in 2007, how many lives could have been saved? Could some of the 2007 rapes at UNR have been prevented if the victim was permitted to have a firearm on campus? I think so. I work at UNR and feel that this bill would provide a level of security that we currently do not have. I urge you to please fully support this bill. | Mar-15-2011 |

| For | I believe there are a number of parents who wish there would have been a similar law at Virginia Tech. | Mar-12-2011 |

| For | Full support. There's no reason a person who owns a firearm can't even leave it in their car on Higher ed property. CCW holders have been fingerprinted, their backgrounds checked and undergone training. They can virtually everywhere else in the state. It's perfectly reasonable that they should be able to carry on university property. No state that allows carrying of firearms on univerisity property has had any incidents related to CCW holders committing illegal acts. | Mar-11-2011 |
| For | It is nearly common knowledge that the police cannot be everywhere, and that they have no obligation to protect anyone. Please vote yes to pass this bill and give us the right to defend ourselves everywhere we might be like we can defend ourselves in out own homes, or on the public streets. | Mar-10-2011 |

| For | We must allow the students at the UN system to defend themselves in any case where an intruder brings a gun onto the campus. We MUST NOt repeat the conditions that allowed the slaughter that happened to the students on Virginia Tech a few years ago. | Mar-10-2011 |
| For | As a CCW holder in Nevada, I am for this bill. In my line of work, I do jobs at UNR, TMCC, and WNC. As the law is written, I can’t even have my “legal firearm” in my vehicle. If I start my day at UNR, and finish my day on Fourth Street, how do I “legally” have my weapon in my vehicle? | Mar-10-2011 |
| For | Difficult for me to locate the college president and get his approval prior to transiting a campus with a concealed weapon otherwise authorized. | Mar-10-2011 |

| For | There is no evidence whatsoever that CCW holders have a negative impact on society. There IS strong evidence to the contrary. The government already requires schools to comply with the 1st, 3rd, 4th Amendments and others. It is unjust for the 2nd Amendment to be excluded. I am the Churchill County Sheriff and believe the Nevada Sheriffs and Cheifs Assn. has failed to defend for the weak, protect the victim and defend the Constitution (which we swore to defend) by opposing this bill. It is statistical | Mar-10-2011 |
| For | Criminals do not abide by these laws. Please allow those who abide by the laws to protect themselves. | Mar-10-2011 |

| For | This bill is integral in the safety and security of college students. It benefits even non permit holders as well as permit holders as persons intent on committing violent acts would no longer be assured that their victims are unarmed and unable to defend themselves. I urge every member of the Assembly and Senate to support and pass this bill. | Mar-09-2011 |
