Whatever chief.
"If you READ my post, perhaps you’d notice that I even said faculty, et al (RESPONSIBLE mature adults) should be allowed to carry."
I read your post. All the women I've known that were raped, killed, carjacked+ weren't faculty. They were students. I don't respect your judgment that 21y/os are not to be considered responsible adults. Nor do I respect your opinion that college students in general are irresponsible.
" It’s the TRUTH that courts and government building AND DEFENSE PLANTS, etc, have NO-WEAPONS rules, for damn good reason."
A defense plant is a target in itself. A school is an institution for learning and the targets are the folks that attend the institution, especially women. Your ability to analyze and compare the 2 situations is not very good. A school is no different than a mall, gas station, or home, since many of the students live there.
" I believe in total freedom with some logical, LOW-LEVEL exceptions. We’re not talking state-wide bans, here. Tiny areas."
There is nothing logical about banning the possession of guns on school grounds. If the person is 18 they right to own and possess a rifle, should not be infringed, same with a pistol if they're over 21. That's the way it had been prior to the '60s peace BS. That's when the right to have firearms in one's dorm and vehicle began to be infringed. Folks live at school. It is their home. There is no logical reason to infringe upon their rights, only emotional reasons. The only things that died when I had a gun on my dorm were squirrels and ducks. That's the way it has been traditionally until the grabber crowd began demonizing the gun and anyone who owns one.
You’re right about the nature of the campi being different, but I think sometimes the whole nature of the place has to be considered.
“If the person is 18 they right to own and possess a rifle, should not be infringed, same with a pistol if they’re over 21.”
Their OWNING is not infringed. Having it on someone else’s property IS. The campus has a right to disallow someone to bring in a gun, just as a house owner or restaurant owner has a right to disallow smoking in their property (but not the government).
As for all this defensiveness about college KIDS (and I emphasize that term), forget it. We were all that age and most of us, including me, were IN college. Spare me the “discrimination” nonsense; we were ALL of that “group”. I have an inkling of what it was like, and that was a while ago. Worse now, and it’s clear if you even watch the news.
