THis is also one reason why researchers use college students as their sample and generalize their findings to the noncollegiate population.
Which gets to another issue regarding whose gun access is okay and whose gun access will scare the sweetbejeebus out of people:
Are people advocating legalizing guns on college campuses but only for certain types of people from certain socioeconomic backgrounds on certain types of campuses? Background checks are meant to look for background checks, mental health profiles (maybe), and so forth. Sure, background checks are a type of profiling but it isn't profiling based on factors like race and socioeconomic status. Right? It depends on who you ask.
That's a topic in and of itself.
For the purpose of this discussion, please refer to my previous response.
Yeah so I bid you farewell and will go back to silent reading, I guess.

Sure, the studies will likely also be more or less applicable depending on the "type" of campus. Again though, I don't have any of this data you speak of, so who knows how relevant it would be to this issue.
I'm simply for taking the campus restriction away. Thus, while the issuance of concealed carry permits may be discriminatory in general (which is probably a good thing), there wouldn't be any heightened scrutiny for college kids who fulfill the traditional requirements. Unless race or socioeconomic factors matter in getting a permit as it is, they wouldn't matter with regard to carry on campus. I'm not really concerned about the race or economic status of the person carrying legally at my local Wal Mart or bank, so I'm not sure why many on my side of the argument would want any different standard when it comes to campus carry.
