Right, guys... We need to ask the questions, and open the minds.
Get the administrators and faculty thinking, and maybe, just maybe, they'll rationally and logically remove their heads from the sand. Maybe.
So contact them. I know I've been beating this horse to death, but ask them "How can you ensure my/my child's/my spouse's safety?"

The age of 21 is a new law. New in that before Clinton the age was 18. Also most Universities as we know have Democrats as their Presidents or whatever word they like to use for the top Dog. It is a good place for them to retire after political service. I have noticed something that has changed since I was in college in the late 70's early 80's, society has started to treat adults at Universities as children. At the ager of 18 I always thought of the University as a place I paid someone for my education. Not a place of extended High School. I would never have thought to let them run my life as they do students now. It is like you are a hostage.

We have this little thing in the Constitution called the 26th amendment that tells us that 18 is the age to vote.
We have Federal civil rights acts that protect minorities and women from discrimination that are based on similar amendments, yet nothing that protects 18-21 year olds. Perhaps it's time the Civil Rights movement starts to stand up for them in the face of Handgun Control, M.A.D.D., and others who want to continue to treat young adults as second class citizens?

True. HOWEVER...
Children may have more rights in Indiana than adults, and I'm working to change that. Huh? SB0183.
In Indiana and adult (18+) may apply for a "shall-issue" handgun permit, either limited (target practice and hunting, transported unloaded and locked up), or unlimited (personal protection, no transportation restrictions).
Without a permit, an adult may not transport any handgun (regarldess of whether it's unloaded and locked in the trunk) for target practice or hunting.
A child on the other hand is allowed to transport an unloaded and locked-up handgun for target practice, hunting, or for a training/hunter education class.
SB0183 would allow adults the same "previledge".

There's something in the California Education Code that gives for JC or Universities to the option of arming their police/security forces. Some opt out. One sworn officer at a JC told me that over twenty years ago, some professor reported being threatened by a student. They responded and from a distance watched the guy bring in a suspicious bag. Unarmed, they couldn't intervene when the student killed the professor. Opps. That officer complains that they're still not armed.

Guys, it's not necessarily about the age - I know some 51 year olds who I trust less with boomsticks than some 18 year olds.
But that's all beside the point. This is the week to contact university presidents, deans, other administrators, and faculty, and ask them "how can you ensure my son's/daughter's/wife's/friend's/my safety?" Get them thinking. Get them looking at ALL the alternatives to their current system.
Wednesday or Thursday, we need to get our folks who are students to each put up 10 of Oleg's posters around their campuses.
Are you with it, or not?
