Re: Who/where is covered in the new SB version of Campus Car

Years ago, I was doing some home remodling, had materials outside; the city sent me a letter to clean up my yard, or pay $2,000 a day.
Then there's eminent domain.
When I lived in Dallas, I got a tax bill for owning a car.
Government required some neighbors to build a fence around their pool. They even regulated the type of hinges and latch on the gate.
In some cities the government regulates what type roof you are allowed to have ... no cedar shingles which catch on fire etc.
Some try to control what flavors of lead paint chips the kids aren't allowed to eat.
A Barbeque pit manufacturer dumped chemicals out of the drums on his own property before making the barrels into pits, the government interfered and called it a superfund site now.
Governments at various levels get all nasty if you don't pay property tax bills.
Some make you buy a permit to make changes to buildings on your own property. Some of those even come out and inspect if they like what you are doing or not.
Government already controls private property, in many many ways; always has, always will.

I'd be thrilled if carry everywhere was de-criminalized by default, for licensees, and any non-government location could post 30.06 signs if they so desired, and that's really all that's needed IMHO. Exceptions to "everywhere" (government owned property which can post) might be secured areas of penal institutions......... MAYBE polling places, but that's debatable.

I heard from Rep. Driver's office today that the wording regarding university hospitals was intentional and necessary to get enough support in the Senate. The staff member also said they plan to accept that language in the House and won't try to change it.

Could be better, but at least many more places won't be illegal .. I'd hate to have to go to Virginia Tech, where it isn't illegal ...
