Have you got any idea what it actually takes to get a CCW Permit? It requires a thorough background investigation, including being fingerprinted. You are also required to demonstrate proof of firearms training. Hardly as simple as buying a gun at a gun show (which requires an NICS Background check AND a three-day Waiting Period), attending some training and off you go….

You also claim that women (“purported victims”) would do more harm carrying than good – How do you reconcile the fact that there are between 650,000 and 2 MILLION Defensive Gun Uses per year, compared to about 10,000 homicides? Did you know that CCW Holder, as a group, are far less likely that the general public to commit a felony or serious crime, and are, in fact, more law-abiding than the police?

Your next paragraph is equally ridiculous – nobody is suggesting arming “immature kids on campus”. Why can’t you understand, this law would only allow CCW Holders, who MUST BE 21 (and therefore an adult, and not an immature kid) to carry on campus. The State of Florida has determined that these people are qualified and entitled to carry a concealed weapon for self-defense, what gives a University the right to prevent me from doing so simply because I enter the campus?

And as for your last sentence, “more guns = more people shot” – another catchphrase from the antigunners. If that were the case, how do you account for the FACT that, while lawful concealed carry and private gun ownership are at all-time highs, the violent crime rate and homicide rate have dropped to about 50-year lows. (It’s easy to confirm this by googling “FBI violent crime rate falls again”.

If you want to participate in a meaningful discussion about gun control, you should at least have some basic information or facts to support your case. I haven’t seen anything but rhetoric from any of your posts.

And that the purported victims he claimed could be safer by carrying would only cause more harm.

Yes, our concealed permit program is really effective–buy a gun at a gun show, sit for a few hours of “gun safety” and you’re good to go.

Hardly sufficient to allow immature kids to have a weapon on campus.

Here’s the math: More guns=more people shot.

Sorry to you too – nobody is talking about arming underage students. In order to carry on campus you would have to already have a CCW Permit, which requires that you are over 21 years old.

And I challenge you to name ONE case where “a victim pulls their .38 while drunk or drugged and shoots up the dorm” in the 14 States that already allow Campus Carry….we’ll wait….

Sorry Jim, that is incorrect. Burglary is the most prevalent crime on Florida’s college campuses, followed by motor vehicle theft. Around 60% of rape/forcible assaults on campuses are classified as “date rape” where the attacker and victim are known to one another and drugs/alcohol are a factor. (US DoE Campus Safety & Security Tool)

So yeah–let’s arm the victims who can try to pull their .38 while drunk or drugged and shoot the dorms up.

Great plan.

Headlines today from a major news reporting agency.
Bad time to be a part of the League of Naive Women Voters of any state.

That’s one of the most naïve statements I’ve ever heard in support of anti-gun legislation. I’m curious what makes her think they are so safe? Has she not researched the criminal activities that take place on today’s college campuses?
