Carry on campus?

[JConner]

Do you think that licensed college students should be allowed to carry guns on campus?

I think that allowing licensed students to carry would do away with the majority of school shootings. IF I were a person who decided I wanted to kill people....the first place i would go is a college campus or a mall!

[MistaCee]

Nope I believe that would be a bad idea.

x2, you'd just have more cases of shootings regarding stupid ****. Best solution is to have better security. Its sad that school shootings always pop in and out throughout the years.

no you would not! People that can get a lisence to carry are not idiots that would shoot some guy because he looked at his girlfriend.

Security??? HA! They are RENT A COP's that may or may not be carrying a gun....they just stand around and chat all day about the hott college girls. By the time a rent a cop even gets reports of a shooting in a classroom everyone would be dead!

Tech actually has it's own police (as do many other major colleges). They have all the same rules and privledges that an Atlanta cop does.

That being said, I still think concealed carry should be allowed. If it was, people wouldn't even notice a difference.

This is true but to me they are still just upgraded rent a cops overweight and lazy.

exactly, until such a time as when it really mattered. when was the last time you saw someone that you KNEW was carrying concealed?

most ppl don't understand that as it stands now, a LOT of ppl carry EVERYWHERE regardless of the law and don't get noticed in any way bc they refuse to be caught off guard.

GA State has it's own police department, and I feel safer here with all these bums and **** around in the heart of Atlanta, than I do in bloody Acworth.

that's bc actual downtown atl isn't all that dangerous since it has mostly bums wandering around

Yes, there is hardly any logical reason as to why not. More security would be extremely expensive and the colleges won't pay for it. How can you let someone who is licensed in the state to carry but not on school grounds? Stupid shootings? Don't give me that. Almost all people with CCL's are extremely professional. You act like it's some guy who gets mad and goes and shoots up campus cause he is pissed. No, that's not the type of people who carry legally. Talk to anyone who does and you will notice they are not as immature as someone who would get pissed over something and do that type of crime. It's not like the students who would carry, (myself included) would go around and try some vigilante type justice. If we were in some room waiting on the cops and someone breaks in, that's giving us a small chance of survival. Where you saying no are giving us nothing. More security would be good, but not enough. When CC is allowed, crime is less. Facts prove it. Why not at schools where it is needed the most?

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to 81911SC again.

Well put my friend!

Thanks bud.
I repped you anyway.

It happens daily, around small towns, large towns, and sad to say but schools now too. It's obsured to say we can't protect ourselves and have to rely on rent a cops.

Very nice.

Does the new GA law affecting CCL not affect campuses?

I am with you on all this man great logic.

[ShooterMcGavin]

all that's missing is the name of the school/college above the door...

[redrumracer]

yes more people that are properly trained and licensed to use one would prob help deter a lot of crime even if the people dont have the balls to use it.

Wow you know what we had a discussion about this 2 weeks ago I'm with you on this though.

danget!!!!! i couldn't remember if there was a thread about this topic so i searched every combination of "carry guns on compus" and didn't find anything.

[Stormhammer]

California allows it. And on government premises, church premises, and such. Those are all illegal in GA.

Utah allows it, and they will give you a CCL unlike 80% of LOLiforna.

See I don't understand this. How is it that here in atlanta that we can pass lawas allowing people to CC on marta and in restraunts but not on college campuses? Makes absolutely no sense to me. You have more of a chance getting shot in a restraunt now than you do on a college campus? Give me a break man.

You guys wearing your empty holsters this week? Me and a few ppl are wearing them here at Tech.

Excatly why I started this thread.....

My friend Rob was just interviewed on CBS news at 11 tonight wearing his emptly holster at GA state so I thought I would start a thread about it.

I'm in a pretty liberal school and they said "No".
I did have a talk with them and explain my views and opinions though.

oh ok now i remember lol....i guess that is why i couldnt find the thread, it wasn't strictly about carrying guns on campus

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

At first I thought, hmm yeah they should BUT THEN I was like, maybe they shouldn't. I agree with all those trying to protect themselves from any possible shooters coming in there. I agree with that 100%. You could be that college student hero because of your gun.

But what if someone gets ahold of it, or throws you down, and pulls it out and starts a school shooting? I think that would be a very bad idea. There could be a couple of them who are having a bad day and just attack the hell out of you, grab your gun, and start shooting everywhere. Now possibly most of the blame, if not the whole, will be on you.

So therefore giving both sides of it, I'm pretty much on the fence about this situation.

If their is a situation like this, I think the carrier would stop the threat before that.

if someone got ahold of a gun that i was carrying through force, i would be confident that the guy/girl sitting two rows behind me in class or at the table next to me in the student center would shoot his/her ass before they could do any damage.

Hmmm, if you're gonna talk about a serious situation/problem, then lets talk about one. And what is there to know about a topic like this? How to carry a gun? How to fire from one? Where to carry a gun?

Don't be the ignorant one.

LOL, this post also makes me laugh. I saw I was on the fence about the situation. Nowhere does it say I'm a strong believer against guns on campuses. Looks like you have no idea what you are talking about buddy. If you're gonna reply to my post, atleast read through it as a whole.
