i think there has to be a way to get our arguments out to the anti's that gun control, and gun free zones doesnt work
No doubt Floyd would ask some of our posters to stand beside him as he proclaims carrying a gun is the solution to every problem.
Given the number of students on campus who are under the influence of something I'm not sure a well armed student body is a good solution.
I find it amusing the people who believe they are going to get support for gun owners by proclaiming arming everyone is going to be the solution. If anything those statements make it even more difficult to retain support by politicians for our cause. Political support is image dependent. When you promote an image of irresponsibility it gets harder not easier to to present an image of responsible gun owners.
Arm the anti-gun owners with statements from our own ranks indicating teenagers should be allowed to carry weapons to school and your not helping gun owners. (A recent posting on this board.) You probably will have more parents turning out at the public meeting to support banning guns on campus.
Publish letters to the editor that rather than explaining the right to self defence is reasonable and necessary but professes that college students packing on campus could have stoped the BG and your going to be on the wrong team. Parents are not going to be accepting the visions of gunfights taking place on campus.
Tell me what information the legislature likes to hear. I doubt it was from those who advocate arming HS students or college students. I'll bet it was in line with what I previously said: legitimate reasons to proved for self defence
The federal law has an exemption for ccw permit holders who have a ccw permit for the state in which the school is located.Also, UofO's rules mean nothing legally.All they can do is expell you if you are a student,or ask you to leave the property if you're not, and to do either, someone would have to see your concealed weapon.Conceal it well, and its a non-issue, unless you need pull it out and use it,at which point given the choice between possible expulsion and possible death, I'll take expulsion every time.You can't come back from the dead, but you can go to a dfferent college.jrfoxx I believe your might have to check with your local law enforcement before you broadly state you can carry on/in a public school. I believe it is Federal regulation that prohibits such carrying. I also seem to remember while attending the UofO specific rules about not having firearms in the dorms. I'm glad there has not been any shooting in Oregon school. I hope there never is. But when these idiots decide to commit suicide by cop I doubt they care if anyone is armed. So far the BG going wacko all over the country don't seem to be concerned with who else may or may not be armed.
Yep. That's why I used the word "commoner" rather than citizen. Because that's how the anti-gun crowd views us regular folk.WhyteP38, please tell me you're being sarcastic.
These tragedies never seem hate-oriented to me. Hate is an emotional response, but these murderers strike me as having little or no emotion at all.I see no one in this thread ask as to why this shooting and other like it occur, what is it in our society that would cause so much hate in someone.
The problem with this statement is that it doesn't address why there are so many shootings at gun-free areas and so few at places such as gun shows and police stations.There is something true about suicidal shooters not being deterred by armed citizens.
