And let's not forget the 22 year old who shot a shotgun at firefighters from his fraternity house.

Wow...turning 21 just flips a switch on maturity.

Indeed. And though we must draw some sort of age line as we do with age of consent, drinking age, driver's license age, etc. That age isn't a magic number. I'd argue that the environment of college with its excess of alcohol and relatively low level of structure to its life is less conducive to responsibility with firearms than a 21 year old full time employee.

Note: That doesn't mean there are NO responsible people in schools, obviously. This is a statement about the whole, the environment, and exactly what is supported in campus culture.

Question: What would a CHL holder do with his gun while he was asleep? Gun safe? Drawer? In one's home you might feel comfortable putting it in your bedside drawer, in a fraternity house, dorm, or apartment with roommates?
