And to preempt your next question:

What nobody for the bill got to point out was that people are necessarily disarmed AROUND campus, by virtue of the IN campus gun ban. Yes, a non-student can't get in trouble for the gun in a glovebox, but a student can. Regardless many people walk, bike, or take school shuttles. And so when the girl gets off the shuttle to her apartment, that is when the local diversity sneaks up behind her, forces into the apartment, calls his buddies, and then rapes and tortures for hours.
That's my problem with not being able to store a weapon in my car on a military installation. I'm not so worried while I'm at work, (but I am aware it is possible, i.e. Fort Hood) it's when I'm stopping to get gas or groceries on the way home. I've been driving home from work at 0100 in the morning and passing murder scenes... It's like seriously? I can serve my country and put my life on the line for my government, but you're going to disarm me when I have to stop at 10 lights on a street where it isn't out of the norm to see the damn CSI people chalking out bodies at 0100 in the morning? These politicians don't give a rat's ass about my family or my contribution to my country. Now I carry an ASP baton in my car door. Thanks politicians...while driving home I have a f*#cking STICK to protect myself (as if that can help me if I get held at gun point at a red light, fully seated in a car). A stick....
That's also what Marion Hammer said and Senator Evers intimated. However, if you read the bill, it clearly says you may carry openly.
Probably an attempt to make it more palatable. If this aspect of the bill is overemphasized, I'm nervous about a future committee amending it to say only that accidental exposure is not a crime. Watch for it.
Yes, and no. It depends where you are, and who's in power at the time. Back when I was stationed in Arizona for a couple of years, I open -carried my 1911 on and off-base with no issues at all.
The Navy bases where I served allowed you to check your personal weapon in/out of the Security office. 9/11 changed a lot of things.
It is the AGRICULTURE and Natural Resources appropriations subcommittee and if i'm not mistaken doesn't the Dept of Agriculture include the Division of Licensing, which would have plenty to do with the situation at hand.
Exactimundo!

Ixtow, you are missing the point of "sitting in the back of the bus". Rosa Parks did what she did as an OPEN defiant act. Carrying a pistol in your pocket is in no way the same.
