Pro-gun group plans counterprotest to start minutes before March for Our Lives activists rally

A pro-gun group is responding to the March for Our Lives protest with a march of its own, planned for the same day, along the same route, directly preceding that of students and activists advocating for gun control.

That group held a concealed-carry class in the wake of the Feb. 14 massacre at a Florida high school, which sparked the March for Our Lives planning. Utah is one of at least eight states that don’t bar concealed firearms from public K-12 schools, The Associated Press has reported.

According to a March Before Our Lives Facebook post, pro-gun activists will meet at West High School, 241 N.
