True, but no law is going to prevent that from happening.

Of course, my feelings on this extend beyond the college aged crowd but I understand I'm in the minority here.


You have to be 21 to get your chl

What I see on my daily commute doesn't lend my confidence to the over 21 crowd.

Just because someone carries legal doesn't mean they don't want to harm anyone. Undiagnosed unbalanced people can carry legal too.

I don't like the way young people eat but that's really not relevant either. 21 is an adult even if you choose to not recognize it

In most massacres including the ones at VA Tech and Newtown, the shooters used weapons that were legally obtained.

And, University Administrators, Faculty, Campus Law Enforcement, Students and parents didn't want this. It's just the legislature bowing to the influence of the gun lobby.

Lunacy.

Open carry actually makes you more of a target. You lose all element of surprise and tactical advantage by having your weapon exposed at all times.
