Concealed Carry on College Campuses
This is a hot topic following the Virginia Tech murders. Here, the subject is discussed.
Clearly, I'm for honoring the CHP everywhere. CHP holders have been vetted, trained, and are of legal age for possession. They are not children, legally or in terms of personal responsibility. I also think it is the height of elitism to think that a college campus in the midst of the rest of society is somehow magically immune to violence. In Virginia that has been disproven at several colleges the most widely publicized recent event being Virginia Tech.
For us, the American ideal is personified in the concept of self-reliance, work ethic, honesty/forthrightness, decency, personal property rights, family, religion, an ability to defend oneself from criminals and crooked politicians, and personal responsibility.
