BOULDER, Colo. -
Colorado's new segregated "gun dorms" for students with valid concealed-carry permits have attracted zero students.
The Daily Camera newspaper reports that since the University of Colorado's Boulder and Colorado Springs campuses began segregating dorms for students with valid concealed-carry permits this year, not a single student has asked to live where guns are allowed.
On Aug. 16, CU announced it would establish residential areas for students over age 21 with a permit to hold a concealed handgun. In all other dormitories, guns are banned.

First off, what 21 year old is still living in the dorms?

Political stunt with the results engineered in advance. Exactly. CU Boulder? Really? First ask if any - ANY students that go there even have concealed carry permits. For those that don't know, the entire Boulder area is about as liberal as they come this side of the Rockies. Add on top of that an even more liberal typical college environment... That is not the kind of area/school that attracts students who are likely firearms enthusiasts, or take responsibility for their own selves, own defense. I'll bet you good money there aren't 50 concealed carry permit holders in the entire city of Boulder.

And you MUST have a gun? Even if I didn’t, I’d sooner live in the “shooting gallery.”

Well liberals can stop belly aching about the freedom to be armed on campuses then.
Students are permitted the freedom to be armed and have chosen not to be armed right now. So, as usual, liberals were screeching hysterically about nothing.
Idiots!

Who lives in a dorm at age 21? I wouldnt even live in base housing by the time I was 21.
Most schools have different (worse)financial aid packages for those who live off-campus. I had a full-tuition scholarship for my senior year that would have been forfeited had I lived off-campus. Also, some schools have VERY strict rules requiring froshes to live in dorms, regardless of age, unless married. When some Orthodox Jews fought the rule, they lost, and got married rather than live in the dorms.

Guess what?
A human has to be 21 years old in order to own or posess a handgun.
How many university students still living in a dorm are that old?
This story is crap, designed to make people believe that "enlightened" college students don't want and don't want to be around handguns.

I thought the whole point of concealed carry is that nobody is supposed to know.
Including the damned leftist nazis.

CU was never gun friendly, all the gun owners had to find living places off campus, why would they drop where they’re living now to go back? CU drove them away, not a surprise now they won’t live in a CU dorm.

Which fits the leftist agenda to a *T*....making the notion of concealed carry worthless. How convenient.

The whole point of concealed is so that people don’t know...

These are the older students so a higher percentage probably have apartments off campus. CU probably picked the worst dorms and made them the most difficult to get into.There's that and then what kind of dorky kid defines himself by his love of guns? The article is loaded with bias, of course, but the premise of providing gun-carrying dorms is questionable.

I am not surprised. Very few permit holders are young enough to be in college and live in the dorm. Second, those who are old enough to have a permit would probably not live on campus.

Wow. It would be tempting to say you have a gun in order to get the place to yourself.

A human? How about a "US citizen after the implementation of GCA68"?

What would a student in the dorm do with their personal weapon? Should the school expect the student to bring a gun safe for when the student goes to the shower or leaves the room without the gun?
To: exhaustguy
Those details would have to be ironed out when they get participants, I think.

If you are 21 to start the school year you are likely a Senior. Outside of RA’s, I knew very few Seniors who lived in the dorms.
To: ConservativeTeen
Of course, the school knew that....so it fits their agenda of being able to say” *Oh well, we offered it...and no one took advantage of it.*
