Students for Concealed Carry responds to faux ad for Student Body Armor

AUSTIN, TEXAS In response to an online advertisement for bulletproof vests emblazoned with the logos of colleges in
campus-carry states, Students for Concealed Carry (SCC) Southwest Regional Director Brian Bensimon asked, "Is it just
colleges, or do they do NFL teams too?" After being informed that the ad is a parody produced by anti-campus carry
activists, Bensimon added, "But they had to build prototypes for the commercialdo you know if they're going to keep
those or sell them or what?"

SCC Assistant Director of Public Relations Michael Newbern was asked to provide a more substantive analysis of the
publicity stunt but was too busy trying to contact the non-existent body armor company about regional franchise
opportunities. He did mutter something about "Midwest gun shows" and a "veritable goldmine," but he was talking too
fast for the quote to be transcribed.

A substantive quote was finally elicited from SCC Texas Legislative Director Allison Peregory, whoafter a few choice
words about her easily distracted male colleaguessaid, "As a sequel to the dildo protest, Student Body Armor works;
though, the concept might have been more impactful nine months ago, before the state of Texas cruised through its first
two semesters of campus carry, without anybody being shot or threatened or attempting suicide as a result."

Because no American college has ever seen a mass shooting or a resulting assault, suicide attempt, or fatality while
allowing the licensed, concealed carry of handguns in the institution's hallowed halls, Peregory suggested that body
armor might make more sense in non-campus-carry states. "Just counting the on-campus spree shootings since 2007,"
she said, "I can think of at least 200 people at non-campus-carry colleges who could have used a product like this."

Peregory had more to say on the subject but had to leave to take a phone call from Newbern and Bensimon, who
wanted to discuss a unique investment opportunity.
