Following mass shootings at Virginia Tech in 2007 (32 students and faculty killed and 15 wounded) and Northern Illinois University in 2008 (six students killed and 16 wounded), the gun lobby is pushing legislation that would prohibit colleges and universities from maintaining gun-free campuses.

GunFreeKids Toledo Blade denounces introduction of guns on campus bill in Michigan.

www.toledoblade.com
Unbelievably, with his state facing fiscal meltdown, Senator Richardville has decided that now would be a good time to introduce a bill to allow college students with concealed-carry permits to strap their guns on before heading to class this fall. And not just the students.

I completely agree with Andy. Just because someone has a title of "veteran," "professor," and especially, "faculty," does not make him/her any more qualified or competent to weild a deadly weapon than anyone else. Take it from me, I'm a teacher and an administrator. I KNOW firsthand.

So you know firsthand that someone who has served our country and has more familiarity with a weapon than an average citizen is not qualified to carry concealed with a CHL? You know firsthand that professors with a CHL aren't more competent to carry concealed than one without? Please elaborate

Loren Swan-Morrison Hey, has anyone caught the last Bill Maher episode? It opens with this commercial about the new "Remington Elementary" where kids all get their own weapon. You have a bunch of kids on a playground toting 9mm and rifles. Completely ridiculous. Then a clown comes up to surprise the kids and they all take aim shocking the... clown. Ends with the image of Remington Bear with a bandana and a gun. Way to open an episode.
