Heartland Patriot is correct. We will NEVER get the legislature to throw in the towel and drop all regulation at once; just ain't gonna happen. We have to use finesse and tact to gain our rights back slowly a little at a time. Just as they boil the frog by turning up the water temperature slowly, we have to slowly reverse the process so the antis don't realize we are turning it back down.

And bobcat50,
While I agree we should be able to carry at our place of employment, there is a difference with college campuses. One of the issues with college campuses vs. work is many students live on campus and walk everywhere, including late nights from libraries and labs back to dorms, etc. They don't have the right to protect themselves because they can't have a handgun even on campus or in their dorm/apartment. Not too many folks live within walking distance to work, and they drive to work and park in the parking lot. The caveat is if they ride mass transportation and have to try and find a place to store their weapon.

One of the reasons I think we can get campus carry to pass is many of the colleges are publicly funded, so just like the government can't prohibit us from carrying in lots of government owned buildings, students and faculty should be allowed to carry in a publicly funded college. The majority of people work for private employers and we will be really lucky to get any more than a parking lot law passed to force a private employer to allow a handgun stored in your personal vehicle. I really don't think the legislature will ever pass anything that states a private company can't ban you from carrying. That's just the way it is unfortunately.
