A few hours of class time is insignificant compared to not being able to carry many of the places we most need to carry. If the best we get is class reduction and "opt out" rubbish, then the best the legislators should get is a B- grade. Maybe C+

Care to explain why 972 is rubbish? It's the same bill that we almost passed in 2011. It de-criminalizes carry on university property and prohibits public universities from establishing any rules to restrict concealed carry. Private universities can adopt rules against carry, but only after consulting with students, law enforcement, faculty, etc. and such rules must be renewed every year. This is a huge step forward. Sure, we're all disappointed at the lack of progress on 700 and 3218, but that's no reason to dismiss 972.

Should we expect a vote on these bills on Saturday or just debate?
