Edited your suggestion ..... Name's a bit long; I like the logic/concept though

When my daughters started college, we tried to buy them everything but the kitchen sink to get them going on a good comfortable start. Seven years apart from each other, both know and respect firearms and all that pertains, but 3 years away from a CHL at college time. I’m not saying the age should be changed. That is a whole new topic. I do believe though, that the majority of the student opposition (voter qualified} were not age qualified for a CHL. Two to three years for these students is like a life time to them. How do you reach them and they realize, I DON’T HAVE TO TAKE IT ANYMORE? Give them something to look forward to? I don’t know. I do feel that most of these students don’t respond well to in your face, see it my way. – just my 2 more bits.

Go onto a college campus and ask around what they are passionate about and I don't think you'll hear "reducing crime." That's kinda an abstract idea for most, really. Protecting and helping victims (especially women, minorities, homosexuals, domestic partners, etc) will come up frequently, though. Two sides of the same coin, but they resonate with the latter far more than with the former. I think hirundo has hit the nail on the head.
