One day after students at DePaul University were evacuated in response to a bomb threat, more than a dozen student activists hung holsters on their hips to protest state laws and university policies that prohibit concealed weapons on college campuses.
Mick Paskiewicz, vice president of the DePaul Conservative Alliance and organizer of the protests, said students have a divine right to defend themselves. After all, he said, that’s what a Catholic university is all about.
