Reply #54: that is NOT the only difference

[paulsby]

the difference is that a court can be a "secure environment" with access by armed people STRICTLY controlled through metal detectors, etc.

that is NOT the case on college campuses.

THAT is a significant difference.

on a college campus, in a state that bans carry on campus, you can be assured that people who want to obey the law will be disarmed.

people who don't care about the law, will be armed.

in a courtroom, it's an "even playing field". attorneys, clients, etc. are not going to be armed.

court security will be. and that's it.

also, courts have a relatively limited focus. people don't LIVE there, and go about their daily life there like they do on a college campus. by disarming people on a campus, you ensure that students cannot have guns in their RESIDENCES, for example.
