I may or may not have had a pellet rifle in the back seat of my jeep for a week while trying to meet up with a friend to make a trade.

i didnt think an unloaded pellet rifle would be an issue on college campus if its in your car?

Doesnt the transportation of a weapon laws come into play here?

Don't be so sure. Not long ago a group at William and Mary's campus had to get special permission to posses nerf guns on campus. Yes, nerf guns. :banghead:

I've tried in vain to get conservative groups on campus to get involved in the right to keep and bear arms. I even got a grant and brought Larry Pratt as a guest speaker on campus last year and nobody in the college republicans even gave me the courtesy of responding to my emails. I've wanted to organize an empty holster protest for some time but I can't get more than 3 or 4 people committed. In my opinion it just isn't worth doing unless I have a significant number of people to actually make an impact.

You are on the outside looking in - the view is very different from that perspective.

I actually remember when college students were the leading edge of strong, independent thinkers - taught and encouraged to think "outside the box."

What I hear and see all to often now is the wind blowing through the branches - not even the sound of crickets chirping.

We are stamping out robots - good little clones. How does one nurture and develop a functional cognitive process by swallowing the Kool Aid.

As is so often the case Grape, your post says a lot.
Unfortunately it's not only College Students, it is much of society but narrowing it down to gunowners, it says volumes.

I was talking to someone the other day about the future of gun laws in Virginia and told him that this last General Assembly session was a disaster and I suspected the next one would be worse.

What we have are a lot of out of the box talkers who are in the box do'ers.
