Gun free zones are never gun free.

This week the Buckeyes for Concealed Carry on Campus released a video detailing the stories of two students at Ohio State University who had been or would be victims of assault on campus.

The video shows what the difference of carrying a gun on campus would be versus the dangers of not being armed in the event of an assault.

The stories are real, and they are very powerful.

On Tuesday, May 08^th the Buckeyes for Concealed Carry on Campus were out in force in favor on the Ohio State University Oval in support of Concealed Carry on Campus as part of their 2^nd Amendment week activism project. Tuesday was day one of the weeklong event, in which students on campus handed out fliers for their upcoming NRA University training on May 9^th.

Mike Newbern, the President of Buckeyes for Concealed Carry on Campus at Ohio State University, has been under vicious attack ever since his wrongful detainment while attending a candlelight vigil for Trayvon Martin.

Specifically, the Department of African American and African Studies, whom started a hate crime petition and made an official statement against Mike, and Lauren Michelle Kinsey of Plunderbund, made the two most scathing remarks, calling Mike a "hate criminal".

However, after an op-ed that ran in the Ohio Dispatch, that called out Plunderbund for it's inflamatory remarks, and Mike's meeting with members of the OSU group 'Stand Your Ground', Kinsey has decidedly changed her tone.

Progressives at Ohio State Univeristy (OSU) have sustained a coordinated attack on Mike Newbern, the president of Buckeyes for Concealed Carry, since his wrongful detainment for wearing an empty gun holster while attending a candlelight vigil for Trayvon Martin earlier in the month.

Ohio State University Police detained and drew their weapons on student-activist Mike Newbern for demonstrating his support for gun rights by wearing an empty holster to a candlelight vigil for Trayvon Martin on Wednesday.

Newbern, the president of Buckeyes for Concealed Carry, was taken forcibly into police custody just after 8:30 p.m., while he was standing at the front of the crowd wearing an empty holster, which was clearly visible on his belt, and with his hands crossed in front of his chest.

A police report released on Thursday indicates two officers drew their firearms before approaching Newbern and removing him from the vigil. They searched and questioned Newbern and confiscated his personal belongings, including his empty holster and camera case, before placing him handcuffed in the back of a cruiser for 30 minutes.
