GRNC Alert 10-2-13: Davidson College To Hold Public Gun Forum

Panel discussion
on “gun rights, responsibilities and regulations”…

GRNC has learned that Davidson College has invited the public to a panel
discussion on “Gun Rights, Responsibilities, and Regulations,” on
Monday evening, October 7 in the Lilly Family Gallery of Chambers Building.

The panel will address questions such as: What are the trends in the use of
guns in murders and other violent crimes in the U.S.? What is the current
status and scope of our Second Amendment rights? What does federal law
require regarding background checks prior to gun purchases? What concerns do
law-enforcement personnel have about illegally trafficked guns? Are changes
to current gun laws or regulations warranted, either at the state or federal
level?

The panel will include Chief Rodney Monroe of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Police Department, Chief Jeanne Miller of the Davidson Police Department,
Interim Acting Chief/Captain Carolyn McMackin of Davidson College Public
Safety, Lance Stell, Thatcher Professor of Philosophy and Director of Medical
Humanities, and Andrew O’Geen, Assistant Professor of Political Science. The
event is being sponsored by the Vann Center for Ethics, and will be moderated
by David Perry, Director of the Vann Center and Professor of Applied Ethics.

Lost Invitations?

Noticeably missing from the discussion panel, of course, are any solid
Pro-Second Amendment individuals. Perhaps their invitations were lost at some
point? Here’s where you come in: plan to attend the forum at Davidson College
on Monday evening so that all
voices can be heard. Unless we are willing to participate in these types of
forums, our voices may be swept by the wayside so that only one side of the
issue is heard. Although we can’t say for sure if that is the intention here,
we can
make sure that our side is represented in the audience, at least.

Important note

Those planning to attend the event should note that guns are not allowed on
the Davidson College campus. Davidson College is a private educational
facility and does have a “no weapons/ firearms” policy. Please do not bring
firearms with you on Monday evening.

IMMEDIATE ACTION
