If you won’t acknowledge that choosing to carry a concealed weapon in a classroom situation does carry a certain responsibility to do it right, then you aren’t helpful to the debate. It’s not a cell phone. It either has to be on your person, which is difficult to conceal in what most college kids wear, particularly in summer, or secured, not in a backpack you can set down and walk away from, even for a moment. Did you read my post 96?

Do you have a problem with students (or any adult) that are over 21 and passed the CHL requirements from carrying in a classroom?

Open carry. Concealed carry. It should be an individual choice. If these kids are old enough to fight and die for our country, get married and have kids, sign contracts, and vote... then restricting their Right to Keep and Bear Arms just because you personally think some of them can't handle the responsibility isn't going to help things.

People LEARN responsibility. It isn't something that just "happens" with age. Treating young ADULTS like children will ensure they require a Nanny to get them through life.

This isn't what we want.

As it was, everyone there was following your policy. Everyone was disarmed. Even the teachers. Except one. That was all it took.
