no, for those that don't consider getting a permit, the last reason is where exactly they can carry. i do not buy that just bc carrying on campus is legalized, suddenly have a permit would be the in thing and everyone would start rushing to get one once they hit 21.

And I'm sorry but just because your 21 doesn't you may not have an emo day. I mean the VTech kid was over 21 wasnt he? With age comes more responsibility..with more responsibility comes more problems.
why? you'd rather be naive in thinking you're totally safe just bc there's a law saying you can't carry on campus? go look at my sig again please.

I mean obviously some have committed sucide so they must not care.
how does that have ANYTHING to do w/being able to carry on campus? being allowed to carry on campus does not translate to an increase in the # of guns on the market, no matter how logical it might seem on the surface. and maybe you really don't get it, but if people have problems and are willing to do stupid sh1t to themselves or others, THEY WILL NOT CARE THAT GUNS AREN'T ALLOWED ON CAMPUS. i swear some ppl just get stuck in a loop thinking that "gun free zone = safe zone". you need to find a way to adjust that thinking into "gun free zone = safe for CRIMINALS zone".
