Vote with your wallet, let them know why! Write an Op/Ed piece, make a blog etc...
I know this is beneficial to me but if the kids at schools like this would wear Second Amendment Wristbands in protest they could probably bring some attention for them and me.
This advice is worth less than you paid for it:I'm asking this is because my friend is under investigation about a facebook picture online, where he was posing safely with a weapon. This picture was taken back in his home state off campus during the summer, where firearms are not illegal. He might lose his scholarship due to this photo.
I do not want to diclose the name of the university
I look at that as a poorly worded policy, and I doubt they ever intended to enforce it in the manner that you described.
My thoughts exactly. It doesn't appear they are intentionally banning their students from owning firearms, it just ends up that way because of the poor wording. You should bring that to their attention and ask for clarification.
Westminster? Went there in the '70s.Please tell me the place doesn't start with a W and end with an R.
Westminster College, class of '80. There were more guns there when I was going than in some Caribbean countries. We used to go out to the clay pits outside of town to shoot all of the time (as did the local MOARNG MP unit). There used to be an indoor smallbore and pistol range in the basement, under the gym. Apparently it went away when ROTC bit the dust. There used to be a good little gunstore outside of town, where my best friend bought first his Browning High Power, then his H&K P9S-45. Midway and the Chapman Academy opened while I was going to Westminster.Spartan I went to a Private Midwestern College (Westminster in MO my online ID isn't real incognito so I don't feel scared to share this info) and can verify that n the past certain officials at private colleges don't always believe that they must abide by the Constitution.
scrub your facebook account and anything else that could jeopardize your education. It may not be the answer you want to hear, but keeping your politics away from your wallet is a safe bet.
I seriously wouldn't sweat this. They want to cover their asses.
I'm asking this is because my friend is under investigation about a facebook picture online, where he was posing safely with a weapon. This picture was taken back in his home state off campus during the summer, where firearms are not illegal. He might lose his scholarship due to this photo. So the school can do something, but is it legal for them to do so, since the photo was taken off campus. He has since removed the picture, but they are still prosecuting him.
Making them look REALLY BAD in the media is the best strategy.
I'll reiterate. Lawyer.
