People don't realize that CHL holders are already legal to carry on campus, just not into the buildings.

This bill is a good idea, IMO, and the fearful are just reacting with emotion.

I dunno about this.

I can see the argument for professors and staff, but students might be taking it a little too far. I know the age is 21 and there are tests and classes involved in getting the license, but the college environment fosters alot of partying and drinking. Drinking + guns = obviously not a good mix.

I bet police officers will be just trilled about the possibility of reporting to a school shooting and then having to figure out which one of the students running around with a gun is the true bad guy.

Why does this Governor continue to make us the laughingstock of this country? It's embarassing. Some students are not mature enough to handle guns in a campus situation. It is not wise to allow students and profs to carry guns.
