[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 2863111, member: 385"] College students are necessarily the ninnies that some make them to be. Sure there are some that aren't even responsible enough to regularly go to class; they get booted after a semester or two. Others go to the Big U to do nothing but party. They likewise are removed in a semester or two. Sometimes both categories wise up quickly enough and get on with their education. Not really fair to the responsible students to deny them rights but perhaps that's the rational of some administrations to protect the bulk of the students from the several irresponsible ones. I went to a large public university back when dinosaurs walked the earth. While guns weren't officially permitted nothing was said if their presence was not overt. Plinking, organized competition and hunting opportunities were available as near as 15 minutes from campus. While a dorm RA I only had to council one or two to close their door when they were cleaning guns. Never had a problem. We didn't have to worry much about terrorism in those days. As I recall there might have been a bomb planted near the door of the ROTC department, however this was a Vietnam War protest not an attempt to harm students/staff. Today there is a real terrorist threat to large gatherings of people, especially those in disarmed-by-law zones. Public primary/secondary schools in OK are permitted to arm staff members who have LE reserve status or training as an armed guard. Private schools can, by policy they may create under the laws, go beyond this if they choose. Maybe colleges need this same level of authority by law as a minimum. [/QUOTE]
