Not particularly. Can you point out which rioters had conceal carry permits?

CCW has nothing to do with it. It’s a sample of how well they behave generally.

“Also, if any claimed riots occurred off campus, than (sic.) they are irrelevant to the discussion.”

Nonsense. Their general behavior is the relevency. Rioting is both on and off campus (more off, near FRATS) and just goes to show the kind of people - a whole “community” - we’d be entrusting to carry guns or ANY weapon.

As for your “old man” comment, that’s silly. We’ve all been that age. I’ve seen it and experienced it, never mind seeing how it’s gotten worse. I’m not 40 yet and you better believe I have little faith in overaged children. Too bad, so sad.

And please don’t call me liberal or doubt my belief in real liberty (NOT anarchy) without knowing more about me (plenty to see on FR). This is about policy of an institution, not laws.

CCW's are usually issued based on training and lack of a criminal record and mental health history. Students that meet this criteria are no more a danger with a weapon than anyone else. Your method of sterotyping groups of individuals who shouldn't own weapons has no place in a free society. What other groups do you feel are more prone to this behavior you describe? African-Americans have a greater rate of criminal behavior than other groups. Should they be prevented from carrying guns? What about lower income individuals? I'm sure 99% of people would agree that stereotying groups of people is no basis for sound policy.
