I agree... Allowing college students to carry arms into classrooms is not the solution. I’m in college and I would feel incredibly uncomfortable going to class surrounded my random people with firearms. College students drink a lot and do stupid things. They don’t need to be carrying guns around.

My FRiend, I bet you are already surrounded by random people w/firearms. Many people, w/and w/o permits, are not going to let themselves become victims because someone thinks that criminals are going to stop engaging in criminal activity just because it's a gun-free zone.

There's a saying, 'Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.'Many people, including many women, see the truth in that saying and will not let anti-constitutionalists determine their personal safety.

My dad and the rest of the JROTC used to bring their guns into classrooms in HIGH SCHOOL.

Little boy, if that’s how you feel about college students, the mind reels at what you must think of a Marine infantry platoon, average age 19. We’re talking MACHINE GUNS, for all hands, both magazine and belt fed, grenades, launchers, pointed sticks, and they’ve been trained to be very unsympathetic.

Perhaps you have been gelded, but there are others who have not.

I's probably not legal for a lot of them to be drinking but they do it anyway. Why would you think not allowing students with permits to carry on campus would prevent anyone from carrying on campus even though it's not legal?

Those that carry LEGALLY don't usually do things like get drunk while carrying. How may drunk folks do you see in class? If you are not comfortable around people that may or may not be armed you should spend the rest of your life at home, hiding in a hole.
When I was in college I knew people that carried concealed on campus, it made be feel much safer. I often carried a knife because that was legal there without a permit.

Are you feeling uncomfortable with all the students driving cars too? Those students kill more people than any nut with a gun.

What about those carrying scissors, pencils, knitting needles?

What about those that are black belts in some form of martial art? Are you uncomfortable around them too?

Give me a break........

You likely already ARE surrounded, by people who are not licensed to carry.
