The Community College of Allegheny County’s student government gave preliminary approval to student Christine Brashier to form a chapter of the national Students for Concealed Carry on Campus at CCAC, the Post-Gazette reported.

The group will receive student activity money in what should be recognized as a major step forward for advocates of the Second Amendment on area college campuses. A similar organization functioned at the University of Pittsburgh in 2008 but is no longer a registered group on campus.

Individuals over the age of 21 can apply for a License to Carry Firearms at their county sheriff’s office and said license allows them to legally carry a concealed firearm in Pennsylvania. Regardless of whether or not the student is a permit holder, area campuses ban students from possessing firearms on campus.
