Although for some reason i can't fins the article online, I read yesterday where Tuesday Louisiana's Campus carry will be voted on.

So far the opposition is speaking louder than the support it seems.

Here' some below that will make you want to puke ! :cool:

The gun lobby is not concerned with safety.

They are only concerned with their guns — a consumer product that is responsible for 30,000 deaths a year and another 90,000 non-fatal injuries.

We’d also like to repeat a question posed by McNeese State University Police Chief Cinnamon Salvador when this bill was considered last year:

If lawmakers believe concealed guns are the best defense for college campuses, why are firearms forbidden in the Capitol?

I'm beyond tired of this subject matter being incorrectly referred to as "campus carry."
Let me set the record straight.
What is being touted is nothing more than CONCEALED carry on campus.
Have any of you spectators heard any mention of OPEN carry on campus?
Didn't think so.
Again, the state and it's minions, cheered on by it's willing slaves, is merely promoting MORE "permit only" carry.
Land of the free?
Not hardly.
