Changes: As far as colleges campuses in shall-issue states are concerned, allowing those with CCW permits to carry would be a good first step.
When I was a senior at a large Southern University in the late 1970s, most of us in Army ROTC had CCW permits and frequently carried on campus and to class. I majored in Criminal Justice so there were also cops in my classes who were routinely armed and everybody knew who else was armed. No problems whatsoever. NONE. Not a single one.
Of course no weapons were permitted in the dorms and I was sharing a house off campus with other army cadets. Even normal students not in ROTC were often seen with shotguns or rifles in a vehicle rack during the various hunting seasons. Again, no problems, at all. A lot of folks (including students) in the area fed themselves by harvesting wild game. Heck, I did too.
Cutting down on the meat bill by killing deer during the season allows a bigger party budget. However, ALCOHOL and GUNPOWDER never mix. That's also pretty basic to growing up and attending school in the deep south. Sure there are always hunting accidents. But none involving students during the time I was in school....at least none of which I'm aware.
Things seem to have changed since I was in school. Now the globalist liberal cabal is in charge all over the nation. Last time I checked, the proud Army ROTC programs were in danger of being evicted from the campus by the Administration. When I was in school, we had the #1 biggest noncompulsory ROTC Program in the nation. It was a sign of student patriotism for Fraternities and Sororities to join the first and second year ROTC program. They loved it, then. The times...they are a'changin' I guess. For the worse, it seems. This is what happens when the SHEEP MENTALITY is inculcated into the student campus attitudes.
