Ohio lawmakers approve college campus concealed-carry bill

By Kim Palmer | CLEVELAND

Lawmakers in Ohio approved a bill on Friday that opens the way for licensed gun owners to carry concealed weapons on college campuses, less than two weeks after a man injured 11 in a stabbing attack at Ohio State University.

State senators passed the bill 22-8 after representatives approved it 68-25 late on Thursday, sending the bill to the desk of Republican Governor John Kasich for his signature.

If signed into law, the board of trustees at Ohio's public universities would have the option to allow for concealed-carry on campuses.

The legislation also removed a state ban on carrying a concealed weapon in public areas of airports and daycare centers, local media reported. Operators would be able to choose whether to prohibit guns in their buildings.

seems to link it in some manner to a "mass stabbing" (?). God, I wonder what their thinking was. Oh, well, I doubt much will come of this.

Concealed carry on campus is not about the students. The traditional students are not eligible due to the age requirements, need to be 21 to get the CCW permit/license. That allows only the oldest half of the senior class.

My college experience was obviously lacking because I was not packing.

Varsity and ROTC teams all four years, does that count as "packing"?
Maybe not.

Hopefully we have a dozen more states go constitutional carry over the next few years as well.
