Well, I'm the dad to 2 college-aged kids and the holder of a MI CCW license. First of all, neither kid is as mature as I would like, but I bet they are both mature enough to a) keep the thing put away when it should be put away and b) take the thing to class JUST IN CASE THE UNTHINKABLE SHOULD HAPPEN.

I really thought that, after the debacle (and massacre) at Virginia Tech, we would have finally learned enough to know that a classroom full of unarmed teens and early 20-somethings is JUST PLAIN STUPID. But maybe not. Maybe possible "immaturity" should keep our kids from being able to protect themselves as they sit in college classrooms.

I would agree that some may be mature enough. Many police officers are in their 20’s. I would agree it would be beneficial in the even that they come under fire (MOST military grunts are in their 20’s). I just cringe at the thought of some of them. I could be wrong. I’m glad I have not been flamed over this; I am very torn!
