 * Delete no notability, no sources to prove it--Hazillow (talk) 19:58, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep due to Travellingcari's changes.--Hazillow (talk) 20:44, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, significant RS coverage and nationwide in scope. I'm going to see if I can clean it up at all. It's a sentence now, but I think it could be a valid article. TRAVELLINGCARI My storyTell me yours 20:01, 24 February 2008 (UTC) Keep, I just expanded it with six sources including Newsweek and other reliable source papers. It's a grass roots national org whose membership has increased by 5.000 in the last month and 17,000 in the last year. The article still needs more help by somoene more familiar with the topic and gun-control issues but I think it's a valid article. TRAVELLINGCARI My storyTell me yours 20:37, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The additional information by Travellingcari makes this is a different article than what was nominated. This group, and its "empty holster" protests on college campuses, is notable.  In at least one state (Kentucky), legislation has been proposed for letting students carry concealed weapons on campus as a result of their agenda.  Mandsford (talk) 20:30, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep because of significant news coverage after Virginia Tech massacre and Northern Illinois University shooting.--Michael WhiteT&middot;C 20:40, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. After Travellingcari's expansion, this is an informative and well-sourced article that shows the organisation's significance. EALacey (talk) 20:48, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Since I'm the person who started this article, I just wanted to thank all the people who have contributed to the article. It's certainly big enough to keep now! Grundle2600 (talk) 21:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
