Allowing GFL holders to carry on campus would affect less than 5% of college students. It wouldnt just hand out pistols to everyone. What about the 30yr olds going back to school? or just a 50yr old decidng to further his or her education? These ppl are disarmed too. Ever been to college parties? Most are not on campus so the "everyone will get drunk and shoot each other" is a mute point. There are guns in most households where parties take place anyway, and nobody gets drunk and starts shooting ppl. These stupid laws just disarm ppl like me who want to protect themselves and put me in harms way. Its very frustrating to have my government tell me where my life is important and where i am allowed to protect myself, while they are exempt from these laws and can carry where they want. Most even walk around with security. There are many states who have laws where students properly licensed can carry on campus. No issues. Where students cant carry we have shootings and mass murders. I fail to comprehend how people cant put the pieces together. Criminals are cowards and dont want to face opposition. If their prey could be armed, they wont chance it. Just how most school shootings have the shooter kill themselves once the police arrive. If students were armed, a lot of lives could have been saved at virginia tech.

I hear your point and now I might have to agree....you are so right that these criminals are coward punks, if they thought for a second that the college student they were about to rob was armed it might change their mind because they want easy prey, so I can now understand your point
