“I just wanted to take this opportunity to encourage all of you to get your permit. We offer a free course,” he said. “Let’s teach them a lesson if they ever show up here.”

The president of a non-profit Christian university in the United States urged students during the school’s convocation on Friday to get their permits to carry concealed weapons.
“I’ve always thought that if more good people had concealed-carry permits, then we could end those Muslims before they walked in and killed them,” Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr said to applause.
The president, who is son the of late religious right leader Jerry Falwell Sr, pressed students at the Christian school in Lynchburg, Virginia, a popular pilgrimage site for presidential candidates, to get their permits to carry concealed weapons in the aftermath of the California shooting.
“I just wanted to take this opportunity to encourage all of you to get your permit. We offer a free course,” he said. “Let’s teach them a lesson if they ever show up here.”
Further, Falwell criticised US President Barack Obama over his recent remarks advocating gun control in the wake of San Bernardino mass shooting. “It just blows my mind that the president of the United States [says] that the answer to circumstances like that is more gun control.”
“If some of those people in that community centre had what I have in my back pocket right now …,” he remarked while being interrupted by louder cheers and clapping. “Is it illegal to pull it out? I don’t know,” he said, chuckling.
Speaking to The Washington Post, Falwell revealed that he has had a concealed-carry permit for about a year, but decided for the first time on Friday to carry a pistol because of the California shooting on Wednesday.
He went on to say that he has had several shotguns, rifles and pistols on his farm for several years but is new to carrying a concealed weapon and needs to find a holster for his pistol.
