I think it is disingenuous to characterize making a campus a gun-free zone as a "reasonable restriction".

It's certainly not reasonable to me.

1) we are not the Brits.

2) Even with the spate of shootings in recent times, I see no credible effort being made to ban guns. Even Hillary and Obama aren't talking about it, because they know they would have no chance of getting elected if they did.

3) In contrast, there are moves underway in several states to legalize carry by CHL's on college campuses. Some of these measures are likely to succeed. We will need to work this issue one state at a time. Like "shall issue", it will take time, but it's a battle well worth fighting.

And we can point to Utah, where campus carry is legal. So far, there have been zero incidents involving CHL's, and zero shootinngs perpetrated by nut cases like the guy in IL.

And look at the church shooting in CO that was nipped in the bud by a "volunteer security guard" - i.e. a church member who had a CHL.

The truth is on our side. The facts are on our side. And as the saying goes, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free."

All the gun grabbers have to go with are lies and a mass of nonsense.

Over the long run, l like our chances.

Oh, I think it will happen here someday. Like most everything else, we have more college campuses that are also "helpless victim zones" than most states. So it's just a matter of time.

But it's more than just campuses. We (CHL's) should be able to carry guns in any place that qualifies as a public accommodation. The only exceptions I would make are for "secure areas" where you have to go through a metal detector to get in. And those places would need to provide facilities for checking and storage of guns.
