UO student sues for right to carry gun on campus


- 25-year-old Brian Stubbs contends Oregon law allows people with concealed weapons permits to carry guns in any public place -- except a state or municipal courtroom.

(Eugene-AP) -- A University of Oregon student is suing for what he says is his right to carry a gun on campus.

Guns have been banned from campuses in Oregon for decades, but Stubbs' lawyer says tradition does NOT carry the force of law.

Lawyers from the university system declined to comment on specifics of the suit but said the concern is over safety of students.

The lawsuit is expected to be filed Thursday in federal court in Eugene.

This is valid, to an extent. Although his argument is weak. But I don't want to turn this into a flame war, so I might as well pretend I found this funny and say "lol".

 

[Amorphus]

Oh, ok, I thought you said "this makes me embarassed to live in europe" and I was like "wtf^^"

 

[Ameesh]

you should be more emabrresed to live in oregon in general

 

[Kadarin]

I agree that it's a valid point. If society wants to make this illegal, pass a law against it.

My point exactly.

The professors that give out the grades should be afraid ... very afraid!

There have been a few different rapes on campus grounds in the last few years, I can (perhaps) see the need for protection.

But this is a GUY suing. If it was a WOMAN I could understand.

To the best of my knowledge, there hasn't been any gay rapes. Or if there was, the news didn't cover it very much.

Well, lets not forget that it is hard to make the statement, "I was gayraped last Tuesday" and still look cool.

Perhaps Brian Stubbs was infact gayraped but was too ashamed to admit it.

Possible I suppose.

Not likely but possible.

I think he just has a little Johnson and wants to pack heat to make up for it.

I have a serious question. What makes a college campus any more or less dangerous than any other place in the United States? Or is that not the point?

I think it's more a matter of maturity.

Look how many H/S shootings there have been lately.

A LARGE number of people at the U of O haven't been out of H/S all THAT long themselves.

I for one don't care to have anyone in that age group packing heat on a daily basis.

At least not anywhere around ME!

 

[Keego]

That's why I live in corvallis

 

[RossGr]

It seems very unEugeneish.

If this were at OIT or in someplace like Elgin I would understand.
