I was watching and had to turn it. Not because of what was on, because the press ask questions trying to change what they say, I hate the left runs most of the news now !!!!

I couldn't believe it when I heard the news at dinner tonight. School was closed today and I wondered why since the roads weren't that bad, when I heard the news I figured it could have been due to the killings. I don't see how anyone could be so weak as to kill a bunch of college kids who are just trying to work their butts off so they can have a future. Most of my younger friends talk of going to parties and having a few beers, they worry about tests and homework and simple things. Now they have to add getting shot by weakminded A#$Holes to their days thoughts. I'm so sorry for their deaths and so pissed we have people walking amongst who would kill in this way.

From the Roanoke Times:
A bill that would have given college students and employees the right to carry handguns on campus died with nary a shot being fired in the General Assembly.
House Bill 1572 didn

.... as a plebe / freshman at military college we had to keep them locked up in the armory. As upper class men we could keep them in our barracks room under an honor system that they would be kept unloaded and locked up in a foot locker.
Sometimes about 10 to 15 of us would go on a Sunday to the city dump to plink at rats, safely, in a line abreast, .... 22's, 45's, shotguns, etc. No one ever got in trouble for mis-handling, accidental discharge, etc. One guy even had a replica muzzle loader canon we would shoot on occasion... although the rats were at a distinct advantage in hiding from that big boomer.
When I transferred to a civilian college across town, I still kept guns in a foot locker in my dorm room and later when sharing an apartment in an old house. Never even questioned as to if it was allowed or not.
In thinking about it, if we ever would have heard a shooter was on campus, I'm confident he / she would have been taken down well before the campus rent-a-cops or city police would have arrived. This was in an era when most young men and women were taught by the parent (s) gun safety, shooting skills, etc .... starting with BB guns when in grade school.
Having a permitted gun in a dorm might help against a dorm shooter, or in a vehicle to use against a campus shooter, ... but not likely helpful when the shooter is in a classroom building. I don't think it would be good to allow guns in class rooms in todays world .... particularly for a conservative student having to pay tuition to listen to the ultra lib professors spewing their leftist ideals.

The Constitution gives me the right to "bear arms"... says nothing about how, when or where. In other words there is no fine print. I have a God given right to self protection and self preservation of my family and myself no matter where I'm at; a college class, ballgame or dark ally. Bad people have guns... good people that want them should not be denied that right
Of course a very good understanding of gun safety and handling should accompany that right as well as understanding the basic mechanics of your personal gun(s) operation. A felony clear record, as well as drug and alcohol dependency check... can't have drunks walking around with guns. And lastly, mental stability, that includes spousal abuse (battery). If you can't control your anger and physically assault other non combating people, you have no business with a gun... in fact, you have no business on the street if you have done this 3 times.
There is a serious responsibility in carrying a loaded weapon in public and it is not to be taken lightly. I accept that responsibility no matter where I am or what building I'm in.
Remember; When you NEED a gun, you need it RIGHT NOW... think about it.
