Over the past few years, a rash of horrific shootings on college campuses and other vulnerable locales has once again ginned up the gun control crowd and renewed calls for limiting the ability to legally carry in public spaces. In the case of school and college campuses, many are saying that legal weapons in an educational environment are not only harmful to the culture, they are dangerous.
Trinity University student Caitlin O'Shei recently penned an op-ed recently refuting the idea that it is dangerous to allow college students to legally carry while on their campus. O'Shei contends that there is no reason the legal rights of an American citizen should change simply because that citizen resides in an educational environment.
The arguments against college students carrying are often couched in concerns about alcohol consumption rates and the poor decision-making skills of young people.
O'Shei is having none of that. .......
An interesting student's opinion on campus carry - something which is regularly regarded by anti-gun groups as both dangerous and irresponsible. She picks out many very relevant points, not least of which is the obvious one "The best defense against a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." However, it seems to still be the case that logic does not infuse the minds of progressives hell bent on "gun control".
