Tarrant County College administrators are standing by their decision to ban empty holsters used by students to protest campus gun bans. One student at TCC's South Campus says he was told he could speak out but he could not wear an empty holster to symbolize students being disarmed. Such symbolic protests have been allowed at other colleges, including UT-Arlington. But an administrator at South Campus says he banned the holsters because of high-profile campus shootings in Virginia and Illinois. The empty holsters bother Juan Garcia because of his belief that, from a distance, you can't tell whether the holster is empty, or not.
