When I was young, I was totally fucking retarded. Miracle that I fucking survived my youth. I'm one of the ones that probably took longer than most to grow the fuck up. I drove everything like I stole it. Like I was in a fucking road rally. Shit like you see on COPS today.

That whole "risk assessment" thing is just broken in young people.

And yet, you seem to have turned out OK?

Miracle. I know that now.

I used to think I could never hit anything, that anything could be avoided, because I was simply a badass. Truth is, I was just lucky.

Meanwhile, years later, after I had "retired" from driving like a complete asshole, that point was driven home when a child literally threw himself into my windshield, running without looking into the side of my car - the irony, of course, being that I wasn't speeding and still couldn't save the situation.

No.

I know now what I got away with as a kid was just pure luck. Risk assessment is lacking in young people. Science fact.

I understand the reluctance to have a bunch of idiot kids running around with guns to a point, but those idiot kids have been able to get concealed weapons permits in Texas for 15 years. While I don't live in Texas, I think an epidemic of drunken shoot-em-ups perpetrated by permitted idiot kids probably would have been national news. To me at least that potential problem hasn't appeared to be an issue.

Even carrying concealed?

This is z. My dean sent out a "concerned"/"heads up" email about this today. I guarantee if my students are allowed to pack, I will be too. My biggest concern will be when "talks" have to be made to under achieving students...

I wonder what the press is going to be like the first time a co-ed saves herself from a rape by supplying the assailant with a .38 caliber vasectomy? I wonder if all of the hand-wringing of "the evil gun in the hands of feral children" will be remembered?

"let me see it and I'll let you see my ....."
or
"let me see it or I'll take it"

too much testosterone and immaturity in a dorm. there is no way they would keep it hidden from roommates and what not.

I guess I would agree they could carry in class but not in the dorms if that makes sense.

Didn't read through the full second two pages of the thread, I am sure a gun would be on the list of things you can't have if you live in the dorms. And what kind of doucher still lives in the dorms as a junior/senior?

Given that campus attacks are generally ambush or date rape, situations in which it's very unlikely to be able to use a firearm, odds are that they would call such an incident "murder."

The reality is that if an individual has a concealed carry permit, seeking higher education should not deprive them of that right. Concealed carry is allowed in almost every state.I believe the most liberal (at so many Levels) remains Vermont, where all you need to carry a concealed weapon is a clean record and a Pocket. The whole gun free zone is amusing to me because I took my first firearms safety course a the age of 13 in my 9th grade history class room. (I brought a Sear and Roebuck J.C Higgins 12 Gauge Single Shot)
