In reply to the discussion: University Of Colorado To Now Segregate Gun-Owning Students Into Special Gun Dorms [View all]Atypical Liberal
(5,412 posts)51. I think it would be AWESOME to be in a gun-friendly dorm!
Imagine having a dorm full of shooting buddies!
You could have reloading parties. Shooting field trips. You could probably form (and I bet they do) a Campus Recreation and Intramurals shooting team and get to spend University funds on their shooting sport.
And on top of that, you could be pretty much guaranteed there would be no mass shootings in your dorm. In fact, your dorm would almost certainly have a lower crime rate than other dorms on campus. You'd have a self-selected group of highly law-abiding people living together.
Sounds like a damn utopia to me.

The article suggests that it's only for students older than 21 - perhaps that's

Yeah, I think it makes sense - it's one dorm that provides a particular amenity
