I guess I wasn't done.
I'm not here to address red herrings.
Nothing in the proposed law says everyone with a CHL must carry, so arguments that everyone will have guns are not based on facts.
Nothing in the proposed law allows people who are not licensed to carry to do so.
Nothing in the proposed law constructs a great big wall around university property to make it "special".
All these laws do is to permit those who are legally eligible to carry a firearm, and who choose to do so, to do so without arbitrary lines in the sand.
The fact that lives could be saved, rather than police tape draped and reports written, is apparently not something on college campuses choose. OK.
And if you don't want me carrying on your campus, you obviously don't want me carrying anywhere else, so you don't want me saving your life. No worries, mate.
I'm going back to fight in favor of the proposed legislation. I can have an effect there.
