This author and creator Brown created this site to give some information about states that have
or about to pass the bill for teachers to carry within schools. This website was created to gather the
college students that want to see our teachers and staff protecting the students and school.

I think that this site is not a 100% reliable source because all it talks about is college students
and professors who would like to see conceal carry in collages. This site gives some facts but it is mostly
a petition or blog.
Reflect
This website has little information. I used this website because it is important to know that there
are college students around the United State that want to see teachers have the ability to conceal carry
within a school.
