Could someone post a link to the current live video feed?

Thanks!

I tell you what, I am loving me some Senator Wentworth...

That guy is pretty sharp, and working hard for us!

Awesome...thanks for the link.

Who is the [Senator] trying to gut the amendment? She used "common sense approach" like 50 times...She watched too much ObamaTV I guess.

I believe if the choice of carry or no carry is left up to the college, the colleges will still say No...

Its a better, larger step than anything else though.... so best of luck to us.

My perception is... (and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong Mr. Chas and other knowledgeable people)

I work at a private university, so they already have the ability to allow me to carry on campus if they so desire. (which they will fight tooth and nail against letting us carry until Johnny law forces them to)

State and public universities are the ones that have a state law preventing carry there, as well as their university policies preventing carry. So the decriminalization thing would allow state/public schools to set their own policy to allow or ban concealed carry. Also it wouldnt be "illegal" to carry there, but you could still be expelled or fired if you violated their policy.

I hope that is right... anyone care for rebuttal? (or to back me up) :-)

To add a little angle to Shawn's post... I offer a dilemma I encountered today with it.

I work at a Univeristy, so I obviously can't carry here at this time. I do carry on my daily commute, so I have to leave Betsy locked up in the car (which would leave me without a job if it were to be known).

I wanted to go watch my friend graduate from DPD academy this afternoon, and to avoid the parking woes, I was just going to ride the light-rail downtown to make it simple. Well, being on public transit is one of those places I always like to be 'protected'...however I couldnt do it today because the graduation ceremony is held at El Centro College. So that means I have to ride to and from on the "subway" and walk to the college and back unarmed. So negating the fact that I work at a university to start with... there are other situations that can effect a lot of people even though they arent in college or have kids there.

Thank you for that.

I work AT a law school and I dont understand half of what I hear or how things can run like this.

Thanks,

I think the odds of the university I work for allowing it will be next to none if they have a choice on the matter.[/quote]

Mine as well. They have already made it painfully obvious here that they'll do whatever they can to prevent concealed carry on campus. So if there are any loopholes, catches, or other gotchas that an institution can use to prevent or make hellish to achieve....my campus will walk the earth to find and use them.
