I simply asked where these schools are that people are so worried that they need a weapon on them. There was a shooting in the last couple of years (In Virgina I believe) was there not? But your question really does not address the issue It is about being prepared Do you have a reseve on your back when you jump? Why would you jump if you really think you might need it someday?

scruffy 0 #53 November 9, 2010 I was asking if you wear meaning to make that implication. It was pretty reasonable I thought because why would the location be relevant if you didn't think there were places people shouldn't worry about carrying a gun. I think the argument being made is that there are no safe spots in this country, and do attempt to create ones by law in effect only create unarmed victims.Peace, love and hoppiness Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyMarko 1 #57 November 9, 2010 Has? No violent crime in the last 4 years other than 2 non-forced sexual assaults. Will? It very well could, on my way back to my on campus apartment after class. My campus's policy is you may bring a gun to campus, but it must be left at the on campus police station. There is 0 reason to carry a gun on our campus, unless you want to blast one of the violent geese that'll bite the shit out of you if you get too close.

turtlespeed 226 #58 November 9, 2010 Lets listen to your argument in reverse: >>>. . . There is 0 reason to carry a gun on our campus and then >>> It very well could, on my way back to my on campus apartment after class. And then >>>. . . other than 2 non-forced sexual assaults. So defending yourself against sexual assault is not a reason. OK, GotchaI'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyMarko 1 #59 November 9, 2010 Sure, let girls carry a tazer or something. But a fucking gun? NON-FORCED SEXUAL ASSAULT. They were already engaged in sexual activities that went too far. What chick carries a gun in their g-string on the off chance they're going to get assaulted. Sure, I could get shot right after I leave this class. Probably won't happen. The slim chance doesn't give me a reason to carry a gun to class. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scruffy 0 #60 November 9, 2010 The point is what harm are you doing to yourself or anyone else by merely having a gun on your side. I will always advocate that if carry is going to be done on college campuses it should be concealed as to not disturb others. So I've carried a gun every day for the past ~850 days and I've never needed it, but I have never inconvenienced myself or anyone else by having it. I just want to know that if the unlikely event occurs that I will need to defend myself arises, not matter how remote the chances, I'll be able to respond in such a way that I'm able to go home that night. To each his own, if you don't feel the same way don't carry. I still fail to see how having my weapon sequestered to my glove box during the school day makes me safer.Peace, love and hoppiness Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #62 November 9, 2010 QuoteWhere the hell do you people go to school that you feel the need to carry a gun on you? If you had been watching the news for the last 20 years, you might have noticed a few stories about mass shootings at schools... See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_shooting Homicidal maniacs choose schools specifically because they know there won't be anyone there armed to stop them, and for the shock value of killing little ones. People in charge with the same attitude as yours, enable these mass murderers to succeed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
