Yes. I've thought of all that. Yes, I've trained. Yes, I've even had to work my way out of a couple situations rather than "draw down". Yes, having a personal firearm on me has saved my skin, at least twice. Yes, I was in the Marines for 6 years and have trained as a civilian as well (look up Tiger Valley outside of Waco, TX to see what I mean). Yes, I'm well aware of the legal ramifications of using ANY arm for self defense.

The folks on this campus had no such options. Implying they are too immature to learn, or that their Rights are somehow less worthy of protection because of "climate" or their age, is counter productive. Instead of pointing out how "difficult" it is to work against such institutionalized bias, how about you help figure out how to change such attitudes?

BTW... fanny-pack Witness 10mm. El Paso Saddlery Snap-off Elite or an Uncle Mike's clip-on when I am at the range.

How about you learn how to read?

I have said NOT ONE SINGLE WORD against student carry. I'm in favor of student carry.

When you work out the tricky business of not reasoning ahead of your data and not assuming that somebody who said something you didn't think of is arguing against you, get back to me. But I'll tell you this: displaying an inability or unwillingness to think about what you're reading and minimizing the real problem of getting from the culture of dependency to a culture of freedom won't get the job done. We're going to have to make the sale one-on-one and publicly.
