http://statenews.com Human biology senior Amanda Keedle, psychology graduate student Rome Meeks and dietetics senior Amanda Marie Lange express their concerns about MSU’s new concealed gun policy. MSU now allows concealed weapons on campus — but not in buildings — assuming the holder has proper permits. en-us Gryphon 2.2.3b-tsn (woodward)/Foundry5 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 22:16:54 -0400 webmaster@statenews.com http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/41267 I’d feel much safer. Contrary to what Ms. Lange says above, violence on campuses or in schools and churches were not due to the legal use and ownership of a properly licenses CCW permit holder. Why do you think the whackjobs target colleges, schools and churches? Because the know they will be the only one with a gun. And really, SN, did you have to make this little gig so biased? You couldn’t find ONE respondent to dissent. C’mon, this is a cow college for pete’s sake. It wouldn’t have been that hard to find a student who grew up on a farm and has actually seen a gun before.

Now I know that if I’m concealing somewhere in E.L. and go to pick up my roommate, I can take my LICENSED gun on campus with me. Can’t take it to class, but at least any nut job who tries to go shooting on campus will know that he is now limited to one building… Let’s hope he picks a small one! And lets be honest, SN isn’t exactly known for the most unbiased opinion section… they say what THEY want told, not how it is.

You honestly believe that someone who has the capacity to shoot and kill someone in cold blood is going to pay attention to a concealed weapon ban on campus in the first place? Only good patriotic, law abiding citizens will register concealed weapons.

Now lets push for unrestricted carry on campus, now is the time to do so.

This will not be a problem, just like the change to Michigan being a shall-issue CCW state in 2001 was not a problem. Hopefully Michigan will soon follow Utah and Arizona in full recognition of CCW rights on campus, including in classrooms, etc. Check out Students for Concealed Carry on Campus http://concealedcampus.org/ Mon, 29 Jun 2009 22:16:54 -0400 http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/41503
