In reply to the discussion: Tennesse to allow guns on campus [View all]Kang Colby
(1,941 posts)53. It's not an issue.
Colorado, Idaho, Wisconsin, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, Utah, Texas, and now Tennessee have some form of campus carry. After tomorrow, we may be able to add Georgia to the list. The goal is all 50, and all 50 should have constitutional carry (Vermont carry) - no permit required. The 2A is the only permit one needs.
Most states essentially allow guns everywhere, prohibiting adults to carry on college campuses doesn't make sense. If guns are carried at the gas station, the grocery store, and dozens of other places...what makes college campuses special? Nothing. Homicidal nuts and criminals are going to carry anyway. Gun free zones just enable rampage killers.
