MitchellCT I think you may be missing some points. First I think they are talking about public schools not private which I agree can do as they please.

"A case can be legitimately made for removing firearms from the access of irresponsible people, and college students fit that bill. " While this may be true to some extent a similar case could be made for all of society. So we should not be allowed to carry as a consequence? Typically speaking CC permit holders are more reliable as a whole, but nothing is guaranteed. If we have to provide a guarantee none of us would be able to get a permit which would be traveling back in time to the bad old days of "may issue".


"Even if you are a student who was allowed to be armed, what if you weren't present? " I don't get the point. If you aren't present the point is moot. Even being armed is no guarantee that you would be in a position to react or that you would react with your firearm.

If the school can't guarantee your safety, which they can't, is denying you a means of self-protection grounds for liability? I don't know but I hope they give it a try.

The same rule banning permitted concealed weapons holders from carrying on campus affects me as a Professional Staff member as well as all our Faculty... We are not permitted to carry either...

And I truly don't believe the 6 Police officers on duty each shift can protect all 25,000 of us...
