It depends on the state. Here in Oregon, I can carry on any public school campus (elementary through university) and on private school campuses as long as they don't tell me not to.Originally posted by: Amused

It is VERY easy to get a CCW permit, my guess is a lot of them already carry. And it's not like you just get one, you need to be trained first.
"I fear for my life with all these school shootings."
"OK, here's a permit."
A CCW permit is useless for anyone on school grounds. Even with a CCW permit all school grounds are "gun free zones" and it is illegal to carry there.

Where's your proof that backs this ridiculous statement?

Only high schools and earlier are included in that. Colleges are exempt. All laws that prohibit carrying on college campuses are on a case by case basis and established by the college.
Please point out a public/state university that allows CCW on campus by either faculty or students.

One thing any THINKING person will realize is one only sees mass shootings and shooting sprees in places where the general public is UNARMED and/or guns are banned.
You NEVER see these where people are armed. When was the last time you heard of a successful shooting spree at a gun show? A gun range? A police station?
Nope, only in places and localities where the victims are sure to be unarmed.
Shooting sprees are impossible if the intended victims are armed. Shooting sprees are a prime example of why CCW is a GOOD idea.
Private universities can do whatever they please since they are on private property. If state law allows CHL holders to carry on campuses, public universities can't do a damned thing and you would be able to sue them for violating your rights if they did.Originally posted by: Amused

every state university in Utah...they can ASK you not to carry, but they cannot force you not to carry....
yeah, we have some of the most liberal gun laws...it goes nicely with our low rate of violent crime
Now wait, if a Utah university can ask you not to carry, can they remove you from the grounds if you break that rule?

Thanks for the info, guys. I had no idea, that's why I asked instead of making a statement. Everywhere I have lived schools were always gun free zones.

Shooting sprees happen all the time in Iraq and Afghanistan. Seems like everyone is armed there.

Trying being a little less absolute next time, pal.
"Shooting sprees are impossible if the intended victims are armed."
Is easily contradicted and makes your whole argument week. If you said "Lots of deaths in a shooting sprees are rare if the intended victims are armed." Because, cmon, there's plenty of armed people that get shot to death everyday -- and plenty of spree-type killings perpetrated by Sunni or Shia militias in Iraq -- and most people there are armed.
Don't make absolute statements if they cannot possibly be proven.
Fine line that it might be, there is a difference between war and crime. One could say that war is what occurs in the absence of law, while crime requires that law exist in order for it to exist.Originally posted by: Mill

There is a BIG difference between organized terrorists/armies/militia fighting battles and lone crazed gunmen in the US.
Just stop.

Of course there is. But you made an absolute statement THAT WOULD include those battles. You didn't say "lone crazed gumen" are typically ineffective against those with a CCW.
Dude, I have a CCW. I'm as pro-gun as they get. But, if you are going to make a weak argument I'm going to go after it.

Regardless, the problem with the gun argument, from both sides, it that both sides are WRONG. The bickering over guns is really just a way of dehumanizing violence and crime. A way of blaming the tool instead of the human being who actually committed the horrible act. It's a denial of something so terrible that we don't want to even look at it.
I'm sorry to have to say this, but it's us, not the tool, that is to blame.
There ARE evil people among us who wish to do us harm. I choose to arm and defend myself to the best of my abilities as is my right under the constitution.Originally posted by: Vic
