Please correct me if I'm wrong on this...

Does the Campus Carry bill apply to students, teachers and staff? Does that mean it excludes visitors, parents, and guest speakers? If what I've written is true, then I hope it gets modified to be more inclusive. Sure, the incremental change of just the first three groups is an improvement, but it's not far enough.

I like your train of thought, but I think the semantics are important. Instead of the definitions above (which I added in red for clarity's sake), I prefer the ones below:

Like I said, it's just semantics, but I don't like the sound of a 'handgun license'. It sounds like it's more regressive than we currently have (sort of like living in DC).
