ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Students for Concealed Carry

"Okay kiddo, so imagine you're playing a game of hide and seek with your friends, and you want to hide somewhere really well so no one can find you. Some grown-ups think that it's important for people who go to school to be able to hide something that can protect them if something bad happens at school, like if someone tries to hurt them.

That's where Students for Concealed Carry come in - they want to be able to hide a special kind of tool called a gun that shoots bullets. Now, guns can be dangerous, but the grown-ups who support this idea think it's okay to have them as long as the person who hides them has a special license and has been trained to use them properly.

This is because they believe that if someone with a gun was at school during a dangerous situation, like a shooter trying to hurt people, they could use the gun to protect themselves and others. So, that's why some students think it's important for the grown-ups in charge to change the rules and allow people who have gotten the training and license to be able to hide a gun at school."
