The only state that has campus CCW is Utah and the university system fought hard then too.
Yep, and we kicked them in the face until they lost. It was great.
Okay, I know a little bit about this topic. I was involved in the last go around here in Utah a little bit. And I got to sit and listen in on some very smart activists working on this issue.
I'm going to address this, not as a hypothetical, but about doing it in real life, in your state.
First, don't get hung up on minutea. Don't let little things bog you down. You can what if every single thing brought up in this thread until it kills the whole idea.
Step 1. Get organized. Find legislators in your state that are pro-gun, and willing to fight for this. Use Utah as your example. Use VTech as what you're scared of.
Step 2. Start training college students. Lots of them. See my sig line. The more people who actually have skin in the game, the better off you are. If you've got a couple hundred students and faculty that want CCW you can be ignored. If you have 10,000 students and faculty that want CCW, then you're in business.
Step 3. Push. Push everywhere. Start a campaign. Write letters. Get on TV. Especially amongst the student population.
Guys, we did it here. If it can be done here, it can be done somewhere else. We only got it because of a really pro-gun attorney general, and some super dedicated activists.
On the little things, like lockers, crap like that, the important thing to get is the overall CCW is okay on campus. You can hammer details later.
Because I'll tell you right now what is going to happen on those details. The academics lined up against you will pick and pick until you can't carry in faculty offices (defined as anything that has a chair in it) and you have to store the guns in lockers that are centrally located (which the university won't install, and when they do, they are three miles that a way)
If you get to point where you're fighting details, you've already won.
Just like I see Vermont leading to Alaska, and in the future, that leading to other states with permitless carry, we can do the same thing with forbidden areas.
You need to contact your legislators now, and demand to know why Utah loves thier children more than your state loves yours...
If any of you are dead serious about working for this, and not just talking about it, contact me, and I'll be glad to put you in contact with the activists that got this done in Utah, and they can probably steer you in a good direction.
