In a December 5 , 2015 , convocation speech , President Jerry Falwell Jr. encouraged the student body to obtain concealed handgun permits . Falwell discussed the 2015 San Bernardino attack and said , " If more good people had concealed carry permits , then we could end those Muslims before they walked in .

Falwell later stated that he was referring to the Muslim shooters in the San Bernandino attack , not all Muslims
