Re: Kansas Professor resigning - Campus Carry
Having been in a classroom with recent high school graduates over the last 2.5 years, I find putting firearms in their hands slightly terrifying. Perhaps we should start by teaching them things like respect for authority and common sense?MeMelYup wrote:It should be taught in school.

Not if you started them out with air soft and in the second grade.

Unfortunately those children are being raised by the snowflakes in the college classrooms now.

Re: Kansas Professor resigning - Campus Carry
I suspect that the good professor who left her position might see some of the same things in the students in her class rooms. For me, the most interesting part of this situation is the Constitutional Carry part. I support that concept. I also believe that age is a factor. I tried to check Kansas but couldn't find the age requirement for legal Constitutional Carry. I assume that it is 21.TexasTornado wrote:Having been in a classroom with recent high school graduates over the last 2.5 years, I find putting firearms in their hands slightly terrifying.

As always, those who want to act in a lawful manner are likely to do so. In Texas, there is nothing to prevent a student who didn't want to obey the law from carrying concealed on campus without an LTC. The same is true for a student in Kansas who isn't 21. I guess time will tell as to whether that is a big problem. I'm in the middle of visiting many different Texas health facilities and get to walk past (unarmed, of course) 30.06 signs at nearly every one of them. Those who posted the signs are probably like the professor, thinking that the prohibition is a control. It isn't. It is the respect for the law that is the control. When the students in our schools are leaving us terrified, our problem is far greater than campus carry or Constitutional carry.

If nothing else basic gun safety certainly should be. That's what programs like Eddie The Eagle is all about.MeMelYup wrote:It should be taught in school.

Making firearms training even part of the curriculum, much less mandatory would face huge challenges not the least of which are the problems with liability issues which would probably be insurmountable along with the federal ban on firearms in public schools.

Re: Kansas Professor resigning - Campus Carry
Well, then it is a darn good thing that no “recent high school graduates” will be carrying until after 3 or so years when they turn 21.TexasTornado wrote:Having been in a classroom with recent high school graduates over the last 2.5 years, I find putting firearms in their hands slightly terrifying.

I have yet to be able to figure out how Campus Carry equates to “17 year olds with machine guns” in some people’s minds...

I agree and I think it should be mandatory but then I don't believe in the government having the power or authority to mandate such. Catch 22.John Galt wrote:I am all for campus carry, but also think that some training is a good thing.
It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.

It's similar to the right to vote. Getting educated on the issues and candidates is something that everyone should do before they get to the ballot box. But I disagree with requiring poll tests before you get to exercise your right. And unlike the RKBA, voting isn't even a fundamental human right.

Re: Kansas Professor resigning - Campus Carry
Do you think it should be mandatory to have people get parenting classes before they have children? Mandatory education before people vote? What about anger control classes before people are allowed to interact with other humans? In an ideal world, would you like to have any / all of these be mandatory?LDB415 wrote:I agree and I think it should be mandatory but then I don't believe in the government having the power or authority to mandate such.

Kansans feel the same way about Allen Field House as most Texans do about the Alamo.
Texas Tech beating them at home was a wake up call to arm.
