In most states, the minimum age for a permit is 21. At the point where you are a junior or senior, I would consider you a pretty mature person because A) You have managed to make it 2 or 3 years without actually flunking out B) You've managed to maintain your finances to the point where you are still able to continue to afford to attend. That requires a level of maturity that quite a few adults outside of university can't achieve
that's great and all that you think juniors or seniors are mature because they got that far in college and managed to continue on with school. So I guess the other portion of the student population who receive money from mom and dad and have scholarships and grants aren't really a concern then.
When you inject the phrase "I would consider" to make a generalization about the student population, you have no argument. how can you debate someone by injecting your opinion. My argument was that there exists a belligerent group of kids on college campuses, whether they are freshmen or seniors. If you don't believe this is true, I wonder what "college" you went to, seminary school? LOL
This also happens to be the approximate age range of quite a few soldiers that are fighting and dying as we speak in Iraq and Afghanistan. Are you also saying they aren't mature enough to have a weapon in a high stress environment?
so you are comparing a college kid CCW'ing with a soldier of the same age? Bad argument considering the context is not even in the same league. One being order, while under fire, to shoot, the other being an average Joe in bumblefcuk USA attending college. What, someone in the US has more to worry than a someone on patrol on the streets of Mosul? Pleaseeeeee
If you want to compare the two as similar well I'm sure alot of mil folks and vets will disagree with you.
Your point about fraternity parties is again moot. In the state of Louisiana, you are considered legally intoxicated while carrying if you have a BAC of 0.05% or higher. For everyone else here, the legal limit is 0.08% like everywhere else in the country. If you are carrying you aren't drinking, and these kinds of parties aren't all that fun if you're sober..
fine and dandy about what YOUR perceptions are but how can you say for sure no one is going to carry while drinking? Do you have proof that no one in your state carries while drinking? The rest of your statements are based on your opinions on what makes a party "fun". Well guess what, someone else may not think the same way. So your point is??
Where did he GO? To a "gun free zone".
Where did most of the rest GO? To a "gun free zone".
he went to his school because that's where he had his trouble. LOL Duh!! Why would he go to the local supermarket? Or the mall?
And your second question: well I guess those shootings in Alabama or Miami must be exceptions to your "rule".
as for Willy Sutton, well all those robberies at gas stations, convenience stores, bodegas, etc the criminals must had been after a Coke and a Ding Dong rather than the money.
