...STUPID people in college are.
I was in my social psychology class, and we got on the topic of how politicians basically play to the crowd, etc., etc., and somewhere along the line, it was brought up about legal concealed carry on college campuses. My professor(go figure) is entirely against this idea, and went off on a rant about how he would change his syllabus to basically say that you can yak on your phone, text, etc., and if you didn't have minutes, he would buy you more, and just come to class, sign the roll, get your "A." However, he made one, teeny, tiny, itsy, bitsy mistake and asked how we would feel knowing that there are people in the classroom carrying a firearm concealed in a legal manner, so, obviously, I quickly said, "I'd feel a LOT safer." It felt like the WHOLE class turned around to stare at me like I was INSANE! I sit in the back of the class, because I REALLY don't like people sitting behind me, makes me uncomfortable. So, it became a debate where I was the only one fighting for, and everyone else had drank the media Kool Aid of "guns kill people." They were using excuses like, "people can SNAP at ANY second." Uhh, people who ILLEGALLY carry firearms can snap, too, the only difference being that without legal CC on campus, there will be no one to STOP said threat. What happens when the BRCC cop SNAPS and starts shooting people in the crosswalk? Who's going to stop him? What happens in a VT or Columbine situation where the shooter SNAPS during class or out of class one day, with no firearms to speak of, comes back to class the next day and mows down dozens of innocent people, students and teachers alike? Do people really think that people who snap won't come back to class with a weapon if they really want to shoot you?
Eventually, the topic got changed to some other BS, and I didn't get to say much more, but I hope it gets brought up again and I can finish my piece, because I also wanted to mention the fact that if people can LEGALLY CC on campus, then others are going to be aware of this fact, therefore, acting as a deterrent in itself. If I decide to pull out my gun in the middle of class and shoot my professor because he pissed me off, I'm probably going to have about 10 guns pointed right back at me. On top of that, seriously, I'd be willing to bet money that there are students who are illegally carrying loaded firearms on campus EVERY single day, and they won't stop, because they don't care.
Prof. also brought up a kid in another class where the teacher had to call security, because he refused to take his headphones out and stop playing with his phone. I made the point that, "do you REALLY think that kid doesn't already have a record that would prevent him from getting a CHP?" Someone actually said, "well, it could be his first time!" I looked at the girl and said, "there's no way you're going to convince me that this kid hasn't been a delinquent for years." They retaliated with, "well, he could be doing it and just never got caught!" Umm, pretty sure he OBVIOUSLY doesn't care about getting caught if he's willing to have the BRCC cops come remove him from a class. He's been caught and he's in the system, and anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.
Seriously, I really hope that this law passes and this particular teacher has someone ILLEGALLY pull a gun out in class to shoot him and someone who is a LEGAL CHP holder shoots down said BG, that way teacher sees that it's the ILLEGAL guns that are the problem, not the law abiders.
Anyway, that's my rant about stupid college people...
OH! HERE'S the best part! My professor had JUST gotten off the subject of the media BRAINWASHING PEOPLE INTO BELIEVING THEIR PROPAGANDA!!!!

The debate didn't enter CHPs because there were only one or two of us that actually had one. The rest were homeowner gun owners. I suppose the ones that didn't participate were being polite by not bashing our opinions.
