Sad that we aren't left with enough time or political capital to realistically do anything about CC, but at least we got the OC elephant out of the room. Hopefully this clears the decks next session so the grownups can get back to work.

Agreed. Hopefuly we can get a HB308 type bill in 17 that wipes the whole slate, campus, polling places, probably not bars based on what Charles has said in the past, but I could deal with bars being the only places prohibited, maybe reduced to a class B or something.

Because of the misperception of the legislation; the belief that concealed guns aren't presently allowed (they are), and that you'd have immature, overemotional college kids, drunk frat boys and the like waving guns around, ready to shoot the professor if they don't get a good grade, etc.

The one's who did mention conceal carry when arguing against the open carry bills acknowledged they believed in the success of the conceal carry program, that the original fears had proved to be false.

Ooookay.....so if they believe the conceal carry program works off campus why would they oppose conceal carry on campus? What do they think is so different? If they believe it's not a good program to have on campus what do they expect to happen that's different from being out in the general population? What rational argument could they present against campus carry? What stats can they pull from states like Colorado, Utah, and Idaho to argue campus conceal carry isn't working in those states?

^^^^^^^^^^ An excellent point Sir!

Sadly, it will fail to persuade Democrats (largely liberals)....since it is steeped in 'logic'.

Now...if you were to write something oozing with emotion (no matter whether true or not), you might get their attention. ;)
