“It’s hypocritical to say you can bring a gun into a 300-person movie theatre but not a 300-person lecture hall,” said Stephen Feltoon, Midwest regional director of SCCC.

That's not hypocrisy, that's a double standard. Hypocrisy is when someone does something he advises (or legislates) against others doing.

As a starter, let all ROTCers and faculty pack loaded heat in class.
Go Bobcats.

To parse, if a legislator passes one law for students on a campus he doesn't visit, but passes better law for himself in places where he IS likely to be, then that might be hypocritical.

Perhaps we can agree on 'inconsistent?' =)

You’re right, that’s not hypocrisy...this is what I get for not looking at my speech more carefully.

All college students have a hormonal imbalance? Does that include all of the non-traditional students like the 30 year-old in one of the classes I’m kinda taking?

It’s not that *college students* are more responsible, it’s that *licensees* are.
