Now up to the students on going or not.

their Dear Leader does.

... until the idiots that attend this "university" start Darwining themselves.

was to follow it up with a post about how we'll soon see Nature culling the herd at Liberty University! Great minds run in the same circles, i guess... Ms Bigmack

Concealed carry is permitted at many schools and I'm not aware of people shooting each other? And why do you want to supply ammunition to people with guns?

n/t

I understand this is already happening on other campuses.

I consider Liberty University to be a laboratory.

I think they should drop their restriction on open carry though. 18-21 year olds also have the right to feel safe.

And you know that pubescent (and post- ones) like to have their weapons ready, just in case.

this is utter BULLSHIT

Not a state school. Not a school any person of a liberal persuasion would attend unless it was to observe the fundies in their natural habitat.

and I think people who feel the need to carry everywhere are paranoid gun humpers

Best wishes

They'll be concealed, not open carry.

Doesn't EVERYONE have the right to feel safe?
I think we should set no limit on the minimum age for open carry, because if they set an age limit, the younger ones will want what the older ones have, and do whatever they can to get it.
And why is this limited to hand guns? We have the right to bear ARMS. I should be able to have a shoulder mounted missile launcher with nuclear grenades in my locker there! After all, they are arms too.

so long as they limit it to the campus of Liberty University.

you're such a putz .....

I would be concerned about the mix of guns and alcohol, drugs, adolescent hormones, jealousies,
love triangles and breakups.

Here we have guns and God, and not much of the rest if they are as pure as reported to be.

Should be interesting.

One previous post called it a laboratory?

Yes. Exactly.

The rest of what you mention they'll have.

However, no hand holding on campus. So they'll take their boinking to the local motels, which undoubtedly do a bang up business (so to speak).

before they regret this.

people love to hate......I suppose it's progressive, but I have my doubts.

SOON

Seek help immediately.

"I didn't think it was loaded!"

"I was putting it back in the drawer and I just dropped it!"

"I was practicing my quick-draw in the mirror!"

"I was cleaning my gun . . . "

Many college campuses allow for concealed carry, so far, no negligent discharges, what makes this any different?

Can you name at least three?
Thanks.

as in ID, UT.

You need to be 21 in most states for concealed carry.
This will prohibit all but half of the senior class for traditional students.

To say nothing about <ahem> non-background exchanges between friends.

Do you think the campus police will be able to frisk every coed that might be carrying? The schools can't afford to pay their instructors enough to live on - will they spend money on men-in-blue with questionable abilities?

that the students would carry with out license. But I could be wrong.

by definition.

If someone decides they need to give someone else a "go to Jesus moment".

Because I'd bet they have to pay out before this year's Freshman class graduates.

With that many Christians (of their ilk) in one place, it pays to be armed.

I'd be happy to sit back and watch except that it's kids, don't want em to get hurt. But still...

There are already many college campuses that allow for concealed carry, so far, nothing.

It's just that previously, carrying a weapon with a concealed carry permit on campus also came with the added bonus of potential expulsion from Liberty U.

Now that there is no incentive, I expect fewer students to carry weapons at Liberty.

You can't screw, but you can shoot floor mates who get too rowdy.

what makes you think this will be any different?

When I was in college. Everybody hunted. It was a rural area.

Now I can't imagine the shit you'd get into most places.

I used to wear a Buck 110 knife to high school. Tons of people wore knives. There was never a stabbing.

I'd seen people roll around fighting on the ground, both wearing a knife, never thinking to pull it.

After the gun industry going from hunting to zombie apocalypse and self defense and after years of foreign policy and politics where violence is often put forward as a solution to complicated problems we have become more violent/

Particularly if you carry with one in the chamber for good luck.

and probably on a regular basis. After all, fear and stand your ground are a big part of these' folks' every day lives. This won't end well at all. How stupid they are. Yeah, save yourselves from gun violence by greatly increasing the # of guns is such an ignorant and counter-productive choice.

but no way would I allow my daughter to go to a university that allows guns in the dorms. UGH!

One roommate was always complaining because he couldn't have his gun on campus. I got out of that room the first chance I got.

What a nightmare.

Dorm behavior isn't always the best, but add guns to the mix.... just, no way!

There's no way I would have wanted to live in a dorm where guns were permitted-- no freakin' way.

when these college kids pull out their penises hmmmm I mean guns to show each other . Accidents happen.

The bullet would go right through it. And it would look stupid.

They should have gun racks with loaded semi-automatics and AK-47s in the showers in case the Taliban decides to invade Liberty University while the "students" are washing up.

Think of the times there have been accidental discharges, when no one is hurt.
Those are not reported, only material damage.

18 to 22 year olds packing heat on a college campus. Brilliant!

Is the school going to open a shooting range in the Student Union? I wonder what they'll use as targets?



Jerry Falwell Jr.: ‘If more good people had concealed-carry permits, then we could end those’ Islamist terrorists

Ew-w-w-w!

Darn! If only U of Florida had that when I was a freshman, my roommate would be dead.

Someone "cleaning, fooling around with, dropping, didn't know it was loaded" etc.

Bang!

That thousands of college students accidentally shoot each other? Wow.

Sheesh. Next up: "No one could have possibly foreseen that happening."

gun accidents, violence and death? After reading many of the comments in this thread, apparently it's not just them.

You have to be 21 to obtain a concealed carry license in Virginia, meaning anyone at Liberty under 21 is not allowed to carry. An applicant also has to "demonstrate competence with a handgun" and can do so by submitting proof of attendance at one of several different handgun safety courses (Liberty offers a qualifying course free of charge). Finally, there is a lengthy list of factors that disqualify someone from obtaining a concealed carry license, such as addiction, conviction for public drunkenness, felony convictions, etc. The requirements for obtaining a CC license in Virginia can be found here - http://www.vsp.state.va.us/Firearms_ResidentConcealed.shtm.

And on edit, Liberty already allows concealed carry in most areas on campus without any shootings that I'm aware of and is simply expanding the rule to include dorms.

You need to understand that the modern-day gun rights movement doesn't give a flying fuck about violence involving guns. These people view incidents like the Sandy Hook school massacre as a more-than-reasonable tradeoff for their access to firearms, and the right-wing interpretation of the Second Amendment which facilitates that access. So if in a week, a month, or a year, some lunatic mows down a bunch of students and instructors at dear old Liberty U., don't expect any of the pro-gun types (including the ones who hang around DU) to care about it---beyond the usual "gun-free zones" insults. They like the way things are. They're enjoying themselves. When you resort to the "Only a matter of time."/"What could go wrong?" warnings, rest assured that the gun enthusiasts are laughing at you.

"will overturn its policy prohibiting concealed firearms in residence halls"

Why did they have that policy to begin with?

Do survivors still get stuck with the bill for the semester if there's a high-noon free-fire on the first week? Or can they apply for a refund?

Maybe they'll thin the Dominionist herd a bit.

A. Education. Real science. Real social policy. Real history (which would put lie to all that crap they feed those young, vulnerable minds). Lots and lots of education. Sadly, many are immune to truth and facts, so this is not likely in the future.

B. Let them bring concealed weapons into school and their dorms. Darwin will win out over time.

I guess some right-wingers have been nominated to test the theory of whether more guns on campus make the campus safer.

Violence and religion have always been a part of each other.

“Religion, far from being beneficial food, turns to poison in infected brains.”
― Voltaire

Darwin be Praised!

just in case there is a crazy person there.
