TEXAS GUN-CONTROL GROUP CITES SAME POLL IT SOUGHT TO DISCREDIT

AUSTIN, TX - Although the gun-control organization Everytown for Gun Safety and its offshoot Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America have spent a small fortune trying (http://is.gd/wjUeyU) to discredit a Texas Tribune/University of Texas poll that found more Texans in support of campus carry than opposed to it, they continue to cite that same poll's finding on open carry. The Michael-Bloomberg-funded gun-control conglomerate Everytown for Gun Safety can't afford to let the public believe that a plurality of Texas voters support campus carry, so Everytown created a follow-up poll designed to sway respondents in the opposite direction. Everytown might have justified its follow-up poll by claiming that the original Texas Tribune/University of Texas poll was flawed in some way, if not for the fact that Everytowns subsidiary group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America continues to cite the original poll's finding that 68% of Texans oppose open carry.

This April 21, 2015 (6:58 AM CDT) Facebook post from Moms Demand Action cites the same

Texas Tribune/University of Texas poll that found more Texans in support of campus carry than opposed to it.

Madison Welch, Southwest regional director for Students for Concealed Carry (SCC), noted, "It's quite telling that Everytown and Moms Demand Action would simultaneously attack and tout different findings of the same poll, depending on how those findings reflect on their agenda. Apparently, they think they can have their cake and eat it too." This week, SCC launched a website (WhyCampusCarry.com) and a television advertising campaign aimed at unveiling this type of deception from the gun-control activists working in Texas. Welch concluded, "These carpetbagging fearmongers aren't giving Texans enough credit. But they'll learn." ### ABOUT STUDENTS FOR CONCEALED CARRY Students for Concealed Carry (SCC) is a national, non-partisan, grassroots organization comprising college students, faculty, staff, and concerned citizens who believe that holders of state-issued concealed handgun licenses should be allowed the same measure of personal protection on college campuses that current laws afford them virtually everywhere else.

STUDENTS FOR CONCEALED CARRY RELEASES TV AD IN TEXAS

AUSTIN, TX - Students for Concealed Carry today unveiled a television ad and website (www.WhyCampusCarry.com) aimed at rebutting the misinformation and false claims spread by opponents of pending legislation to legalize the licensed concealed carry of handguns on Texas college campuses. The ad, which will begin airing in Texas later this week, directly targets an earlier ad released by the gun-control organizations Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. Madison Welch, Southwest regional director for Students for Concealed Carry, explained, "SCC's primary focus is on educating legislators and the public about the facts of campus carry. When we saw that our opponents were using television ads to make false claims about where guns would be allowed under the proposed law, we knew we needed to set the record straight." The ad from Students for Concealed Carry also points out that the only impartial poll on the subject found more Texans in support of campus carry than opposed to it. The earlier ad from Everytown and Moms Demand Action cites the findings of an internal poll that, according to The Dallas Morning News, included questions "clearly designed to push [respondents] in a certain direction." Welch added, "Although we trust our lawmakers to research this issue and see through our opponents lies, we understand that the average Texan doesnt have time to read all six thousand bills pending before the Texas Legislature. Our hope is that people who care about this issue will see our ad and visit the accompanying website to get the full story." ### ABOUT STUDENTS FOR CONCEALED CARRY Students for Concealed Carry (SCC) is a national, non-partisan, grassroots organization comprising college students, faculty, staff, and concerned citizens who believe that holders of state-issued concealed handgun licenses should be allowed the same measure of personal protection on college campuses that current laws afford them virtually everywhere else.
