Not being smart in saying this, one good place to start is with the 2nd amendment.

Shit, college dude right here too. On my last year. I wish you luck. Its going to be hard, I find that today so many people college age despite playing violent video games and stuff like that are actually quite opposed to the concept of ccw, not to mention some of these same airheads wouldn't care if guns were illegal to begin with. People are like scarred of guns where Im from anyways (as another poster mentioned to me its luckily not that way everywhere) but Im from the midwest and technically it should be pretty good here but attitude wise not so much

Ted Nugent is pretty passionate about the topic, you should watch some of his videos are pretty entertaining to watch not much for credible but you can see his argument style (or maybe lack thereof) nevertheless this might get the wheels turning : Ted Nugent on Gun Control - YouTube

There are a number of college carry rights groups that are active and would probably jump to help you. I would search. Some areas I know such are active is GA and, I think NC.
Good luck. Present well. Don't get baited.

I was definitely going to have an Uncle Ted quote in there somewhere but I was going to try to really dig in and help drive this point home cause its something I truly believe in. But your right I'm really surprised just how oblivious some people are. Even here in Alabama. I just didn't know if there were any good articles I could pull from. We need to have 4 sources of all different types, whether internet, people in person, books, articles, etc. Thanks for what y'all have posted so far.

Tell us how you do.

I will. I appreciate all y'alls help!

The arguments and statistics used by gun grabbing organizations can be used against them very easily. Including their info and dismantling it can add credibility to the side you're promoting. I have done papers for college on the subject. If you want more details on what I found p.m. me.

Speech went great! Thanks yall for all your help!

I think it would be interesting if you post how it went, pros and cons.

Good luck! In what part of the country are you doing this?

I'm at the University of Alabama. And the pros were I was able to remember all my examples of how having a concealed firearm could have saved many lives like the Virginia Tech Shooting, the Aurora Mivie theatre shooting and the coppertop bar shooting here in Tuscaloosa and made great points for each and the chuck Norris video on gun control helped too haha. The cons were I hate getting in front of people and talking so I was a nervous wreck but I pulled it off.
