On Monday, April 23, NPR's show Talk Of The Nation will have a discussion about allowing CCW on college campuses. The program airs at 2PM Eastern Time. They have a call-in portion! Check your local public radio station for details.
Pleae, avoid at all costs the gunnie cliches that will only hand us in the end:
"Better to be judge by twelve, then carried by six."
"Gun control means hitting your target."
"Forget 9-1-1, I dial .375..."
The basic flaw in this whole thing is age. Most college students don't hit 21 til their junior or senior year and most states have a 21 minimum for CHL/CCW permits.
The second amendenment is the only carry permit I need."
Texas, that 2d amendment argument works well with this NPR listener.
BTW - I find it interesting that, although most people won't argue that an 18-year old soldier is mature enough to carry an automatic weapon as well as perform his/her duty entrusted with multi-million dollar equipment, the thought of these 18-year olds having enough restraint to properly employ a concealed handgun is somehow concerning. Hmmm... Anyone else see the irony in this?
