So.. are you in favor

[HELLSING]

Colleges are just getting down right stupid when it comes to personal protection.

I can't remember where I saw it, or from what college put this flyer out, but it told women to "urinate or defecate on themselves if they are ever in a a situation where they could/will be raped".

I mean how degrading is that? Don't fight for your future, just humiliate yourself and hope it works....

My wife told me that's what the girls were told when she went to college.
I think a double-tap to the chest would be a much better defense.

Last Thursday in a town not far from me, a mother & daughter were abducted via a carjacking. Both were tied up by the assailant. The 10 year old daughter was raped, then mom was stabbed to death. The daughter was able to escape with her life intact, but her innocence lost. The scumbag is in custody.

Not to engage in "what if" scenarios, but I can't help but wish that the mom had been armed and proficient with a firearm.

"Able-bodied?" That's a pretty stiff carry-rights restriction for people in wheelchairs or moving around on artificial legs or missing an arm.

Tune up that generalization and I'll get behind it.

 

[vytoland]

I think that every responsible, able-bodied, law abiding citizen in this country should CCW at all times, every day, everywhere.

and we have a winnaa!!

Absolutely, A good example of a school in need of concealed carry is Georgia Tech. Because of the schools unfortunate location in down town Atlanta crimes on campus happen everyday.

You beat me to it. Atlanta's gangs and freelance bad guys have targeted areas around GA Tech and GA State, both of which are downtown, as prime hunting grounds due to the known lack of firearms among students. If you can pass the background check and carry concealed anywhere else, you should be able to carry on campus. I've heard that some in Academia* use the term neuvo-socialists to describe themselves. Of course they are going to oppose anyone being able to protect themselves from the poor misguided individuals who think that what's theirs is theirs and what's yours is theirs.

*Academia = I think I know what I'm talking about and can teach it but outside the walls of a classroom, I'm useless.

After I re-read my first post, I thought your point may come up. To clarify, that's not what I meant.
What I meant is anybody physically capable of safe handling & operation of a firearm should carry one.
I wasn't excluding anybody with a physical handicap or ailment - if they have a brain and a hand strong enough to handle a gun, they should carry.

Of conceal carry in University and or Colleges? Many campuses across the nation have granted or are in the loby process to grant this privilege to individuals/students that do have a permit.

I am a student that lives about 7 miles from campus because the presidents of my University believes this is a bad idea. Personally I feel naked when I have to leave my shield at home while I'm at school.

How do you feel?

I support students exercising their Constitutional rights without restriction in precisely the exact same manner as any other law abiding citizen. Restrictions on a student's 2nd Amendment rights unwarranted by the COTUS are not acceptable in exactly the same way that invented rights with tissue thin Constitutional support are thought to be inviolable.

I'm all for CCW and even possibly Open carry. BUt I wonder in the back of my thoughts if we are headed for days like the old west? Two people get into an argument and then decide to shoot it out or someone sees a fancy handgun on a guys belt and thinks, "hhmm I'd like to have that gun, let me just hide around the corner and shoot him when he comes out".

Is our society ready mentally for open carry and the restraint necessary?

 

[Bill Bates]

I'm in favor of carry, anywhere and anytime. Why should the state/government ever be able to deny anyone of the basic right of self protection.

 

[USAF385]

I happen to know someone I went to school with who carried every day. He was in every single class I was.........

That sounds a lot like the arguments anti-gunners have been making for years against concealed carry laws.

Funny thing is-just the opposite has happened.

 

[Poodle Soup]

Which could be illegal depending on state laws... and not the kind of illegal that gets you kicked out of school. The kind that gives bubba a new room mate.

Car? Sure. Back pack or briefcase... ehhhhhh

How often when you go to a restaurant do you see two guys fist fighting? Knife fighting? Dueling sabers? Smashing their cars into each other? Throwing chairs?

My point... we are a tad more civilized and educated not to mention most people don't really want any trouble in their day to day activities

Ours is, sorry if yours isn't...

I'm OK with permitting students and "civilians" with reasons to be on campus (attending lectures, concerts, museum exhibits, etc.), but I'm not so sure about faculty and administrators, based on their chicken-little style hysterical objections to the concept, handed down from academe's white towers, every time this issue has been introduced in our legislature. From the comments I've heard and read from admins and faculty, I'd venture that a preponderance of them have enough loose screws to be categorized as "prohibited possessors" because of hoplophobia and other mental defects, rendering them incapable of ratiocination on these sorts of social issues. Arm the students, let the faculty cower in the regents' cloakrooms, after summoning the crackerjack campus cops.

poodle- if i was in his shoes,i would carry when and where i want and tqke the chance. btw, i have had a ccw in my state for over 40yrs. even when it was a may issue state. no one is telling me when i can protect myself and when i can't. i would rather take the chance in court than in the morgue.

No worries...the rest of us knew what you ment.

Nitpickers are evereywhere

 

[Maddmax]

Yea, I not mean trying to be a super hero but at the same time I don't thinks it's fair that I could possibly be a target in any given day when someone who is mentally ill decides to have a bad day, and I could have protected myself, but I couldn't because my firearm was at home..

My school had an accident today and a gunman/student took his own life. Thank God that was the only life he took. In his belongings in his dorm room was a rifle w/scoop and materials to make IED's and one possible bomb under construction.

I saw that on the news. Glad it's all over and done. BG taken care of. Another no-body wanting attention... Or mental ill and the system pushed under the rug ???

An armed society is a polite society...

If you look at statistics,life in the Old West was MUCH safer when people open carried.

In the Military,when some one got PO's we didn't have any shoot-outs. It was drop your gear and get it on hand to hand.
