in the late 1960's I was upstaged in a public speaking class in a 2 year College where I decided to demonstrate cleaning a shotgun.
The upstager field stripped an M1 Garand down to basic components...cleaned it and reassembled it while describing the procedure.
God I hated public speaking.

I'll bet the student militamen at William & Mary didn't have to sign out for their firearms each time they drilled on the campus in 1776.

University policy requires students and employees, other than police, to check their guns there. If they want to take them off campus, they have to sign them out, and a university police officer must retrieve them. Regardless of whatever permits they may have, those students and employees are not allowed to possess guns on campus. what horse crap. these morons that get off handling firearms like they are nuclear weapons are on some kind of strange trip.

But officials at colleges throughout the state argue that school isn't just another place and guns are anathema to a learning environment that should be free of fear or intimidation. That is exactly why I used to carry a pistol on campus -- to be free of fear or intimidation.

Did you have trouble posting this story? I tried, but my mouse would not respond to any command.

When I was a head resident at a university dorm, I allowed guns to be stored in their dorm rooms, but I kept an inventory list and I shared it with no one. I never had any problems.
Was I violating their rights?

"You can't carry a gun on an airplane, you can't carry a gun in a federal building and you shouldn't be able to carry a gun at an institute of learning," she said. Tech Police Chief Debra Duncan seems totally oblivious to the fact that anyone can walk onto a college campus with a gun, something that is somewhat more difficult to do on an airplane or in a federal building.
Even if she could guarantee that no criminals will ever enter the campus armed she is also denying anyone who is less physically capable than your average mugger or rapist equality in a fight.

Their authority over students remains a gray area, he said.No it doesn't. The students at a PUBLIC university don't relinquish their Constitutional rights when they step onto campus. Funny how this seems clear to everyone where the First Amendment is concerned, but all sorts of otherwise sane people go fuzzy when it comes to the Second Amendment -- even this Va. Citizen's Defense League guy!

Update to poll from Thursday, SWO.

Your thoughts on guns on college campuses
"Our Thursday story about a proposed bill that would allow guns onto college campuses drew quite a response."
"Thanks in large part, apparently, to a call to vote from the conservative Web site freerepublic.com, our poll question garnered more than 2,000 votes -- more than 90 percent in favor of the legislation."....excerpt
