Campus Carry Poll in College Station Newspaper

Re: Campus Carry Poll in College Station Newspaper
Perhaps the link to that story + Poll got posted on a few more n forums with members of college student/teacher/staff ages which support campus carry and got a few votes through them too.
Ive washed dishes, read 2 newspapers, defragmented 2 hard drives and watched TV, and cooked soup since I voted. Just sat down to eat my soup and read again now.
But yeah, wow, looks like they got some more poll-takers while I was gone.
I know I read that there's like 1,300 members of SCCC just at A&M Bryan/CS or something...
I replied to the scaredy-professor now.
(if he in fact is one ... Obviously he doesn't know Government nor History)

How about 88.7% in favor to 10.6% against? Nice.

Even though these are Aggies we're talking about, I'd still feel safer if CHL holders were allowed to carry on campus.Would if make you feel safer if students and faculty members at Texas A&M with concealed handgun permits could carry weapons into classrooms?

Re: Campus Carry Poll in College Station Newspaper
Yes, but according to the antis as long as a firearm is in a police officer's holster it is safe. Only when a police officer points his gun at a two-time convict who's threatened his life does a police officer gun become a "danger to society". As long as police officers keep their guns in their holsters and never use them, antis seem to be OK with that. If you want to go the extra step and carry it unloaded like Barney Fife, they'll likely appreciate that even more.gigag04 wrote:I'm in the financial aid office right now.

Of course any gun, even a toy gun, anywhere other than a police officer's holster is a ticking time bomb waiting to kill innocent children.

There are many arguing that they do NOT want police officers armed, the concernedaggieprof says he'll give F grades to anyone armed in his class, legal or not.

I'll admit that I am a bit new here and that I don't know everyone yet, so I have to ask: are you a police officer and a student? Or just a police officer who happens to be in a campus building?gigag04 wrote:I'm in the financial aid office right now. So far my gun hasn't jumped out and bit anyone.

He's probably tied up right now (not literally I hope)

Not in any particular order;
gigag04 is
1) Police officer
2) CHL
3) Student
(I'm not really disclosing anything above which isn't already discoverable by searching the forum, and I wouldn't)

(to) average guy: and who protects me from people like you who believe that after a 15 hrs course of training are as skilled and experienced as police officers?

(to) concernedaggieprof:
Isn't your question moot?
I mean after you negotiate and get killed, and the gunman proceeds on his killing spree, why would you need protecting from the guy only trying to defend himself after your failure to resolve the situation?
Just asking; I mean at that point, you are kinda out of the picture anyway and doing nothing to protect us any more.
