Conceal and Carry legislation in the United States has grown from 8 states issuing permits to January of 2011, there will be 37 states that issue conceal and carry permits allowed.

There are 9 steps according to “MissouriCarry.com” to obtain a conceal and carry permit in Missouri. It’s not cheap either, an initial $100, and a $50 renewal fee every three years.

I think the conceal and carry practice is a good one, and should be supported by citizens. Growing up, I’ve been around guns frequently.

Someone quoted “an armed society is a polite society”.

I believe that all gun free zones are potential killing fields and that they should be eliminated wherever they are.

We have the right to self defense wherever we are.

Any ex-military, (honorable discharge) should be free to carry anywhere, anytime. How many could argue against this?

If you treat the students like adults they will start acting like adults.

Not much hope for the professors......
