Back in Jan. 06 there was legislation concerning concealed-carry in VA after a student got in trouble for bringing a legally registered concealed gun on the VT campus. The legislators apparently decided that different rules apply once you walk on campus...
It’s not the only campus where normal-people laws don’t seem to apply.

With all that I have seen in the news over the last several years, leads me to believe that the evil one is either here or on the way soon.
I have no proof of this but just my “gut” feelings, which has not failed me yet..

That’s a good point. Students are citizens and have the right to defend themselves. The organization that spearheads issues like this is

Sorry, but the comments at the Telegraph are actually worse than these, although even they don't compare to reader comments at The Sun. I dislike these people A LOT.
