Why the section about hospitals? Is this giving us the ability to carry on campus, but not into a teaching hospital (for some odd reason?)
Yes. It probably wouldn't have passed without this section, as I understand it.
Any idea who is stuck on the thought that a teaching hospital is some magic weapons free place?
hospitals have drugs in them
guns added to drugs makes the gun itself more evil
good law-abiding citizens might "lose it" all of a sudden after never even trying drugs in the 1960s/70s and become drug addicts
instantly and accident become robbers if they had a gun in a hospital.
Yep. But since they are off-limits due to the law, there's no way someone who is ACTUALLY addicted would decide to ILLEGALLY rob the hospital, because that would be...well...illegal
Everyone knows you can't physically go past a 30.06 sign illegally, so there's no need for law-abiding citizens in the hospital to be able to defend themselves against drugged-up maniacs.
