The pros and cons of an armed society!

From the VCDL...

As most of you know VCDL has been pushing hard to change Virginia law to
allow college and university students with concealed handgun permits to
be able to carry a gun on campus for self-defense.

Last year Delegate Todd Gilbert put in such a bill for us and so did
Delegate Mark Cole this year.

We could not get the bills out of subcommittee.

We warned the General Assembly that violent crime can, and does, happen
on campuses across the Commonwealth.

But the university and college lobbyists swore that crime was not an
issue and that the schools did not want students and visitors to be able
to defend themselves with a gun or other weapon. They argued that the
schools had little boxes with lights that had a button someone could
press if they needed the police.

The General Assembly turned a deaf ear to allowing college and
university students to be able to protect themselves and here we are
today :-(

While it is NOT illegal for a college or university student with a CHP
to carry in Virginia, they could get expelled (or fired if a teacher).
And that is a severe enough financial penalty that students don't want
to take the chance. Who can blame them?

But, I'll bet a few are reconsidering their position now. Expelled by 1
or carried by 6?

VCDL will make it a high priority again next year to get a bill
introduced that will let students and faculty carry.

I don't want to hear from universities and colleges any more about crime
not happening on campuses, or the police will save you if there is a
problem, or that we need more gun control on campuses.

ENOUGH OF ELITIST BALONEY FROM COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES!

If just ONE of those victims had been armed, this most probably would
have turned out very differently:

Nutzez 2 cents...
Think about the laws that lawmakers create and how those laws affect
you! I would rather be shot in the chest then in the back..
