You know, I've been following this for more than a few years, and letter-writing and calling. I'm going back to school to get a degree and change industries a bit, and I was sure that if ever there was a chance for campus carry it would be this time, and that I could actually legally protect myself on campus.

Now forgive the negativity, but I can't imagine what on earth would be fundamentally any better for the passage of campus carry in the subsequent sessions (even a glass half full carry like HB972) than the current session, especially when considering the last 6 years. Anyone here want to make a bet that it'll still be illegal for me to carry in school by the time I graduate in 2017? I'd be happy lose that bet and pay out. I'll even stack the odds 3 to 1 in your favor. Who's game?

I'll keep calling and letter-writing, but it's too easy for our senators and reps to say "I support hunters" and avoid the more difficult issues of self-defense in an urban environment while still getting the TSRA's support because they're republican.
