“Please be advised that it is lawful to carry firearms in Virginia, and this includes at public outdoor spaces on our campus,” he said.

“University police are aware of this and will have officers present to ensure that all protesters remain law-abiding and maintain the safety and well-being of Mason’s faculty, students and staff,” he continued.

Longo added that students, faculty and staff are not permitted to carry weapons on campus, and only law enforcement can bring firearms inside of campus buildings.

College Republicans at GMU said they will hold a “peaceful protest to support our Constitutional rights” before the event, according to Townhall.com.
