I dont want a bunch of moronic college students carrying weapons on campus.

It is completely unnecessary to carry a gun on a campus. Texas State's campus has had a lot of controversy lately not just about CHL but also UPD's decision to start carrying some AR gun..I believe its an AR 16. Whatever. I dont like that either, but I would rather UPD carry semi automatic assault rifles than students carry concealed handguns. I just dont see what we are building up the masses for. Sheesh. We act like college campuses have become war grounds because of a few isolated incidents. I know we dont live in happy fairy land where peace abounds, but at the same time I see absoletley no point in making a college campus a place to draw yer weapons. Its all a fear some people have. I see the point of having a gun in your home, while I wouldnt own one myself especially when I have kids. I would rather make sure I live somewhere safe than bring something that has the intention of scaring/hurting/killing someone. Its negative. Of course, if I had to live somewhere super dangerous I would consider it. HELLO!!!! COLLLEGE CAMPUSES ARE SOME OF THE SAFEST PLACES TO BE THESE DAYS! the crime rate on campuses is so much less than in other places. Do we really need to gun it up?
