State law already permits them to carry them in The Quad.

I jog through there packing heat at least twice a week.

Hi Fangs, I'm still new to computers and text language. I don't know what" The Quad "is.( Please don't laugh)

I'm responding to crossfire,longtooth,bunkins and bryang. Yes, I explained to my wife all the bad things that could happen at any moment.Every time we go out I point out to her the possibilities of being assaulted when coming out of any store. I tell her, "see that women loading her groceries, and that one talking on cell phone,well ,they have no idea of their surroundings.They are easy targets.Who is protecting them? Look at the security guarding the parking lot. He's too far away and besides, he's unarmed, he only carries a walkie-talkie, by the time police arrive something really bad may happen." She still seems to disagree, however, without really admitting it out clearly, I think she's gotten the point, cause when we go out she asks me if I'm carrying and when I say yes, she shows a sigh of relief. I think it's just her fear of firearms. Can't make her go with me to the shooting range. There's been about 3 incidents in last month or two, where CHL holders have had to use deadly force in defense of their lives resulting in the death of the bad guys who were armed. News broadcast reported in each incident that the targeted victims had acted in self defense and would not be charged.Those were real eye openers for my wife. She agreed that I buy a new pistol. Happily ever after.(Guys, sorry I can't reply with" Quotes"or "smilies ". I'm just learning to use a PC. Typing with one finger, don't know much yet.) Bye.

A couple of years back I never thought I would someday carry a firearm. Didn't even know or heard of CHL, nor had ever seen a 3006 sign. However, with the increase of gun violence, I decided that if I needed to protect my love ones I needed to find a way. Being a responsible person and wanting to legally carry I wound up in a CHL class March of 2008. Since receiving my CHL I always carry. There's a NEED to legally carry and understand and uphold the responsibility that CHL carries.(I was so unaware of those responsibilities) My wife disagrees with me. She's one of those persons who thinks that for protection GUNS is not the answer.(She lets me carry, though)This negative way of thinking really scares me. I just can't understand the postings of 3006 signs and GUN FREE ZONES that ONLY affect the responsible CHL holder. It's very hard to have persons like my wife understand the urgent need to be able to defend ourselves.(Unknowingly, I was probably one of them) But no more, I opened my eyes and will always carry as the law permits. There's a need for responsible students and teachers to legally conceal carry. Otherwise, how many more campus killings will it take for Law Makers to open their eyes?
