I'm fine with the idea of concealed carry, but the whole point of it is to make sure applicants are squeaky clean, with rejections often for very minor issues including the subjective opinion of neighbors. While some squeaky clean people, CC permit holders included, suddenly decide to commit crimes, essentially what these data show is "people who have been checked to make sure they have committed no infractions unlikely to commit infractions".

Training and background checks should be nationally standardized. A CCW in Florida is not the same as that in say NY. Once standardization is established then national reciprocity could be permitted.

Representative Donne Trotter and a few others "forgot" their guns were in their carry on luggage at Midway over the past few years.

Then, when TSA was confiscating it, he got all pissy about it.

You know the laws don't apply to them the way they do to us.

Well damn. Just..........DAMN!

Now the refrain is something like; "Blood will run in the halls of the math department" ... with a dash of "Lovejoying", "Think of the children" thrown is for flavor.

I've seen all the same arguments we heard over CCW from the same suspects.

All ignoring the actual experience of the states where it's been allowed for years.

Nothing new here. The Grabnutz don't have much of an imagination or creativity when it comes right down to it.

How many actual children occupy or inhabit college classrooms?

No, not "someones Offspring", anti-gun equivocationists. I mean non-adults as most people imagine when they hear the word, and as any lovejoy is meant to imply.

Much easier to try and create a moral panic among the ignorant by referring to the "children" and recounting and projecting tales of their own nostalgic days of binge drinking and drug use, as some kind of proof of the immaturity of gun owners.

My son has a permit, after 5 years in the Army with 3 tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. Not too worried about his behavior on or off campus. Lot's of carriers are veterans using their GI Bill benefits.

That's the really silly part. The professor walks across the street to Starbuck's, stands in a line with 1 or 2 concealed carriers behind them and never thinks twice about it. Cross back to the quad and those same people somehow suddenly become "dangerous lunatics that could snap at any second or threaten them for a better grade".

It's a total reprise of the "Blood in the Streets" manufactured hysteria ... that none of the Grabnutz wants to discuss any more.

Is anyone still alive in Georgia? I was told many times the streets would be red with blood.

Is complaining about hosts abusing the locking of gun related posts in GD. Check out ATA, talk about rank hypocrisy Skinner once again set him straight

A gun control group he could have posted in...

Mmmmmmmmmmm

........when one lacks the courage and character to confront one's biases.

Just curious

Do you get the impression, that that one feels that rules are for everyone else?

I sure do.

As long as it takes evil guns away, it's OK to lie, cook the books, ignore the law and legal system, (whine at Skinner) or do anything to take away or control guns and our right to even discuss them.

"Besides, all those stupid evil gun owners don't know what's best for them. After all, we are obviously morally and intellectually superior to them, so we get to decide what's for the "greater good".
