[QUOTE="ronin0829, post: 1060252, member: 8693"] 1shot(bob) sorry, cant help you with OU, dont work there. I said a University in Oklahoma, not University of Oklahoma. You are on your own with that one. Good luck. Also, I wasnt trying to say I am against concealed carry on campus. I was saying if a person goes thru the required training to get a concealed carry license they should at least try to use the system that is in place while waiting for the system to hopefully change. As for non-elected persons controlling your rights, the last time I checked the SCOTUS was not elected, but appointed, and they control a lot of your rights. I cannot speak for any other LEO's as to their level of training. Me personally, I try to train at least once a week with both handgun and rifle. I have attended Active Shooter training about eight times in the last five years. All of this on my own time and money. Yes there are officers at my agency that only train to the minimum standard. Sorry I am not in a position to change that, I wish I could. As for people exercising their right to carry weapons on campus, here are some I have dealt with: Wife carried her concealed handgun onto campus to kill husband because he filed for divorce. Student from another college carried concealed handguns onto campus to "get even" with some of our students for something that happened off campus at a bar. I have personally arrested four DUI's and six intoxicated passengers that were carrying concealed handguns. Oh how about the 10 to 12 loaded handguns we have found laying in the seats of unoccupied cars.....right next to the marijuana pipes. My point in all this is that I am all for people exercising there right to keep and bear arms. Like the law says, concealed from detection. If you arent breaking the law and I dont have a reason to come in contact with you, how would I ever know you have a properly concealed weapon for personal protection. Oh, and about carrying a concealed weapon in your backpack, thats great until you leave your backpack sitting in a class room and someone has to call the police to come pick it up. When they look in it to findout who the owner is there will probably be some explaining to do. And what about if it gets stolen or someone with the same backpack picks it up by mistake. If you are going to take a chance on carrying concealed where you shouldnt, at least carry on your body. These are my personal opinions and not necessarily the opinions of the university I work for.
