if he had, literally, A beer, he did not break the law. if he was not INTOXICATED, he was not breaking the law.
we're not going to have the ONE BEER = DEATH debate here, but this is what THE LAW says.

I don't know what the "and he's got a lot of issues to deal with" line means, but your boss' "issues" have nothing to do with Campus Carry.

in regards to you supervising a college dorm, well, I'd like to meet any "kids" that lived there that were 21. prolly weren't many. any "sorority rushes" I'm sure weren't 21yo. you don't rush as a post-grad.

and you are correct, you can only imagine the potential accidents on our college campus's, because there haven't been any in other states (see also Utah), and there won't be in this state, either.

It should be allowed for their safety, but there is an abundance of alcohol at college dorms and such, That in my opinion would make that a very dangerous situation.

IMO
Well, a CHL holder has to be 21 and must know the law. If they get caught with their gun while intoxicated it will be a terrible scar on the movement. I will make a prediction here and now that it won't happen. How many 21,22,23 year old CHL holders are in dorms at any given time? I would guess it to be not more than 100 in the entire state. Of those we are talking about the most responsible of the students, and most faculty, on the entire campus. I consider our qualification for getting a CHL far to strenuous and expensive for any person licensed to consider being irresponsible while carrying. The only arguments I can see against this is that of proper secure storage where no other person can get to it. And that, if I remember the bill correctly, it only applies to students and faculty and not to the general CHL community. Please correct me if I am wrong about that. That is my opinion.
You can say that again...
Funny that you say that...
