I would feel very uncomfortable sending my son to a campus that he felt the necessity to carry a concealed weapon for protection. It’s crazy. Although I believe people have the right to bear arms and protect themselves, it seems very sad that one has to “pack” on a campus!

Because almost all campuses have large foreign student exchange programs I would feel comfortable letting my kid go unprotected. Call it racist or whatever but that’s how I feel.

There are few places in the world where packing a weapon is not adviseable.

Texas got CCP after the after-church Luby’s shooting, for example.

Why? It would be nice to think that a place of learning was exempt from insane nuts but that's just not reality. History has shown otherwise. There's no reason in this world to exclude any college campus from concealed carry weapons.

Like my Father told me, when I told him I "packed" a gun with me in my truck:

"It's better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it..."

31 students needed a gun today, and didn't have one, because they obeyed the law...

When a law restricts my ability to protect myself and my family, as far as I'm concerned, that "law" doesn't exist!
