That's a good point. Why let a few idiots mess it up for the rest of us? Point taken. There is still a risk vs personal freedom thing going on... But I remain undecided until I see some statistics.GEM-Texas wrote:Working in the business, I would bet there are as many irresponsible 21 year olds on the street as in the school. You know of course that there can be guns in cars now - so that horse has left the barn.
How many CHL gun fights over gals have there been outside of school?GEM-Texas wrote:
Assuming that 21 year olds are less responsible (and that remains to be seen on this thread statistically speaking) a college campus would definitely cause a higher concentration of them. IE - that wouldn't be a good thing.

Re: Another special session?
Mind if I ask what campus that is? Is it a traditional 4-year school with lots of freshmen or a commuter school like UT Dallas?nightmare69 wrote: So you are saying you don't mind these 21yr olds with CHL to carry but not at college? You sound like the libs who think if they let us carry in a K-12 school we instantly become insane child killers. Our local college allows campus carry already, you have a CHL you can carry just abide by all the state laws and you are good to go. They have been doing this for years and NEVER had a issue that Im aware of. Lots of 18-25 yr olds go to this school.
Don't get me wrong, from a 2nd amendment standpoint I support being able to carry everywhere. I support open carry.
In terms of school carry, I recognize that guns can be part of the problem and they can be a solution to a very bad situation. When I was in college I did lots of dumb stuff. I'm still doing dumb things, just less frequently. Although I support 2nd amendment rights, I'd want to see the data that shows fewer gun related incidents when CHLs are allowed on campus before making up my mind. Have any data that supports it either way?
