In the old west (gun ettiquette 101), you'd have to surrender (check) your gun to the establishment you went into, if they (the folks who's place it was) decided that the environment was too uncontrolled for firearms, or simply didn't want the responsibility under their roof (as in a saloon).

I say a big bunch of young, testosterone filled emo assholes drinking, competing, and trying to impress women in one place is an even worse idea when you add firearms. It's been proven that younger people lack impulse control.

Much like a saloon full of grown men is likely to have some problems once some of the patrons become more "lubricated", as not all people are happy drunks, and so the proprietors would take measures to check guns at the door.

Administrators run the place. They should have the guns. Arm even the fucking janitor...but the students? No.

No exception for you, Mr. old guy, sorry. It's still not your fucking house.

Nice opinion. How about those facts? Your statement is the typical one from anti-gun people. "They're all gonna get drunk and shoot each other". Fact is most of those students never will get a permit OR carry ever, much less on campus. The ones that do get permits are typically the more responsible ones which is why I asked you to find some news reports of 21 yo's shooting up the town while they're drunk. OH, They only drink and act stupid on college campuses don't they?! And study up more on your "old west" lore, there were very few places that ever tried that. You've been watching too many movies.

I'm not anti-gun at all. I just think young people are fucking retarded.

Two things...
--You must be 21 in Texas to carry
--Very, very few people actually carry a firearm on them at all times

So, the the number of those actually carrying would be minimal, at best...One might say so minimal, that it's a non issue...

I think people have this vision of the old west, everyone walking around with a gun belt, a Colt .45 on each hip, waiting for someone to "give them some lip", thus promting a shootout...

But the facts, and they are facts, are that people carry legally every day with no problems...They just don't do it in certain geographical areas due to laws...This law wouldn't have anything but a positive impact...

I don't think the fucking total teenage mental retardation wears off until mid 20s, even up to 30 for some. You talk to any young people lately? Read anything they've written?

Scary. We're fucked.

I don't know...It seems to be working out pretty well...

Lots and lots and lots and lots of 20 somethings running around with a concealed weapon...And yet, not one single problem...Maybe you're just not giving people enough credit?...Or you have a superiority complex?

I was a student not too long ago and most of those dumbasses shouldnt be driving, let alone keeping guns in their dorms or carrying them to class.

Nah, I have a teen. I talk to a bunch of young people.

Yep. We're fucked.

Do you think they said that about you when you were "young"?

Of course they did. Given the state of the world today, do you think that they were wrong?

Actually, there is no law in PA about how much alcohol you can or cannot consume will in possession of a firearm.
