Whoops. You got me.

Add to that post: ...or Mettenburger never would have chosen LSU.

Meanwhile cities with restrictive hand gun laws like DC and Chicago are much safer.

So you're arguing that more handgun accessibility for students on campus is a selling point for recruits? Why do you suppose Miles, the President of UT, the Chancellor at Oklahoma amongst others all oppose it?

if he failed a test


if his girlfriend dumped him
if he's an angry drunk
if his roomate outed him from the closet before he was ready
if he didn't take his lithium
if he didn't get in the right frat
if the right frat hazed the frick out of him
if his all-nighters caused a sleep-deprived insanity

the list goes on..

Do you guys think this law means everyone will just be given a gun? To get a carry permit, first of all you have to be 21, next you have to take safety courses and pass a test. There is nothing stoping college kids from getting a concealed carry permit now. The only thing this law would do is allow those with permits to carry to gun on campus LEGALLY. That's it. It doesn't make guns easy to get. If you think allowing people with permits to carry guns on campus will lead to more shooting because of the above reason's you are believing in unicorns/ Someone unstable enough to go on a shooting rampage because his girl friend dumped him or he he was drunk, is not going to be stopped because the campus is a gun free zone. That's just silly. You don't need a permit to buy a gun.

No, I'm arguing restricting guns has proven to make things less safe. Why it would be an issue to recruits either way is a complete mystery to me. You are just posting about it because its in the news today. By signing day 2012 who will know or care?

I have no fricking clue, I've never met any of these men so how could I know why they think what they do?

I think you're going to see a lot of gangsta type kids with guns on campus.

Gangstas don't buy guns through legal sellers.

Most of the people who carry under the old law in Texas are more right wingers who are looking to protect their property.

They buy a Glock, take the training course and carry.

The first shooting that occured after the law was passd happened right in front of my offce at Mockingbird and Stemmons. One driver passed the other, clipping the other driver's mirror. When they stopped at the red light (Mockingbird & Stemmons)the driver who was paassed and had the broken mirror got out of his car and started punching the other driver in the face. The driver who clipped the mirror could not drive away because other cars were stopped at the light in front of him. He reached down, pulled out his pistol and shot the guy. Charges were filed against the shoter but he was found not guilty of attempted murder and had acted in self defense.
The shooter was a small business owner who had money and product in his vehicle.

Young gangstas don't take shooting coures, they learn to shoot from an OG.

Yes, more guns for more peace.
Now we have new law for guns in church...
can't tell you how many shoot outs we've been having during the benediction...
