good discussion all make very decent points. there is a part of me that agrees with buckhunters point. college kids party, college kids are not the most mature, even if you were raised to respect fire arms i'm thinkin a fair amount of those kids still enjoy a thursday night draft special? unless i have a safe built into the wall of my apartment/dorm/fraternity i dont care how rendered safe the gun is if some one can still walk off with it while im in the shower/gym/bed. in the state of PA i could have my permit (no training) and a pistol all for well less than $250. Not to mention what if I got roomed with a kid who wasnt comfortable having a gun in the room? And heaven knows when i was commuting i would have loved to had it walking to a parking lot after a night class at 9:30 PM. I am sure those of us here who love guns enough to conversate over it would not let the system down. Except for the commuting folk i think it would not take long for one or more ppl to know you carry also.. i think the point im trying to make is pointing a finger at who failed to be responsible after an incident involving campus carry is not going to make a difference. thanks for all the opinions
