To Don and Raimius.
I am not saying I am against our given rights and would be very pleased to be able to cc on campus. There is a difference on a college campus between responsible adults and college "kids." I would feel less safe to know that student could have firearms in their dorm rooms or on campus. I cant tell you how many times at a house party right off of campus, someone who was drunk thought it funny to pull out there shotgun at the party. Another time where a kid down the hall of my dorm, somehow snuck in a bb gun and was shooting out windows down the hall, who also had a mental breakdown and broke car windows, our dorm bay window and ripped the shower heads out.
I mean seriously many of these people are not adults. Live accross the bathrooms in a dorm now days and see the childish things they do, Paper wads stuck on the ceiling, A live crab in the showers(kind of funny).
Our military makes boys and girls into adults and holds them responsible. You are not held responsible for much of anything in college. I know students who showed up to maybe 10 classes total a semester. Some are responsible but I really couldn't say all of my peers were adults, in fact the guy in the dorm next to me was 17. I truely believe it would be a coinflip. Someone mentioned earlier that the shootings have only taken place on a campus without cc. I dont believe that there are too many that allow cc. I would not fear for my life if people could carry on my campus. I fear for our rights and what the anti-gun people would do if something did happen. Most of our gun owning citizens are very responsible. If you are living at home with your parents, they keep you in check and safe with your firearms, when your on your own you are seeking out safety, information, simply paying your bills. In college, you can skate by, no job, no bills, no parents, all the time in the world to do whatever you want.
I guess in conclusion I was just ranting and appologize. I believe cc would be ok because you would have to be 21, which by then you are more grown up. Firearms in dorms is another matter.
My opinion is more or less irrelivant as I am one person just trying to turn the gears on you old folks.
I really wouldnt put up a fuss either way, but I thought maybe you could use a perspective on college in the now.
