I disagree about students being too immature. I would argue again that those too immature for carry won't and don't go to the effort of even trying to get a firearm or license. Those that would go to the trouble to get a firearm but not a permit do so anyway. I remember my college days as well, myself and a small group of friends were ALWAYS the designated drivers, we were ALWAYS the ones girls called to walk them safely back to their dorms, and we were ALWAYS the ones out fishing and hunting on the weekends instead of partying.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004

Here's what prompted the campus carry debate in Nevada. I'll try to keep this short.
On 1/20/08 Brianna Denison was abducted from a friend's house in Reno. Her body was discovered on 2/15/08 after being raped and murdered by a serial rapist. In November that year James Biela who was 27 at the time and from Sparks, NV was arrested and DNA found at the crime scene positively linked him to both the murder on Brianna and a previous sexual assault.
Now here's what started the campus carry debate. The gal that was raped prior to Brianna's murder was at the University of Nevada, Reno parking gagage. She had a permit to carry but didn't because she was on campus. She has since testified that had she been carrying she very possibly could have defended herself and probably prevented the death of Brianna Denison.
There is so much more to the story but the UNR rape is why we are trying to allow CCW holders the right to carry on campus, and yes I'm all for it.
