In reply to the discussion: "Guns on Campus: A Chilling Effect" by Kenneth M. Mash (NEA, Thought & Action) [View all]Straw Man
(6,622 posts)54. I know that you do.
Now you have to make a compelling argument that a classroom is categorically different from anywhere else.
College classes usually include students who are not old enought to carry a firearm. Why should they be subjected to an environment where others may be carrying concealed weapons.
They are subjected to one every time they venture into public. What's your point?

So, based on your argument, guns in class make it a safer environment for learning and discussion?

No but makes for a safer environment for going across campus in the middle of the night.

I always love it when men use female vulnerability to justify carrying guns around.

Trying to convince everybody who carried concealed that they have a mental defect...

It is the same one who claimed a bicycle tire was a acceptable defensive item.
