We had guns in the Dorm at what was then TPI in the early 60's. I later had guns in our married student apartment at the Univ of Tenn in the mid '60's. We openly carried these guns to our cars to go hunting and it wasn't a big deal and it wasn't illegal. The same was true with our fishing poles, etc.

For better or worse, this is not the same country now as it was then. Just sayin'...

Flame away.
....So you have a problem with law abiding CHL'ers carrying on campus....
Nope. I think guns should be everywere. My reservations are with a thing that I'll call 'group maturity'. There's probably a more scientific name.

I don't know how it was when you were in college but that scene can often get pretty loose. A mature 21+ y.o. student with a CHL is one thing. A partying group of 18-21+ y.o. students is another thing altogether...if you will recall. Please don't compare armed young people in the military to armed college students. Those are totally horses of different colors.

FWIW, I'm all for the mature and responsible students and instructors being allowed to CC on campus.
No one is proposing to arm all college student. Just allow those with CHL, who are => than 21 yrs old, to carry on campus just like they do everywhere else. It also allows the professors, administrators and other employees the same opportunity. I would be more worried about a liberal college professor carrying in campus than a 21 yr old CHL student. :tiphat:

So you have a problem with law abiding CHL'ers carrying on campus. I guess you don't have a problem with phycopaths walking into a campus with guns and blowing away those law abiding CHL'ers who have no way to defend themselves because they obeyed the law and left their gun home.

It is because this is not the same country than it was then that we need to give law abiding citizens the ability to defend themselves. :banghead:
