Here's a question your sort has been dodging for five years, AFAIK.

Do *you* have an answer?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php/en.wikipedia.org/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=118x382537#382537

What *empirical* evidence do you have that legal CCW weapons at colleges are harmful?

And, yes, in this instance I am looking for confirmable media accounts.


P.S.: I'm going to set the over/under on the first appearance of an account of illegal gun carriage/use passed off as legal carriage/use at the twentieth post.

The pearl claspers seem to be fond of faith-promoting rumor,
and I expect an account of a 'legal' gun owner (who actually wasn't) doing something stupid and/or criminal to appear in short order.

Let's see how long that takes, shall we?


Then (as now), the subject attracted lots of shouting, handwaving, posturing, Colonism...

"Sergeant Colon had had a broad education. He'd been to the School of My Dad Always Said, the College of It Stands to Reason, and was now a post-graduate student at the University of What Some Bloke In the Pub Told Me."

Terry Pratchett, Jingo


...and little to no actual evidence
