This just might fit that description. Seems a judge in Colorado says a ban on students carrying CONCEALED WEAPONS on the University of Colorado saw the board or regents on the campus overstep ther authority.
It seems state legislation allowing concealed-carry weapons trumps the University's ban. Anyone ever hear of Virginia Tech where 32 died in 2007, and another 2 just last year? Anyone ever hear of Northern Illinois University where 6 died in 2008? And the list goes on.
Now, I can sort of see why a student might need to bring a gun to class.....No, I can't. Not even for those tough math problems. You know the kind: "Bobby's Glock has 11 bullets. If Bobby starts shooting randomly, how many people will he kill before turning the gun on himself?"
Not funny, I know. But neither is allowing students to carry concealed weapons to class in a university! And it wasn't the majority of students calling for an end to the ban. It was 3. That's right, 3 students bitched about not "having the legal right to bear arms".
And as shocking as this may seem, less than half of the States in the U.S ban carrying concealed weapons on campus. Just 22 States.
A Colorado University spokeman said it is unclear how the ruling will affect other university properties such as the university's football stadium in Boulder and its hospital in suburban Denver.
Now, I'd normally make some kind of crude or flippant comment to wrap up a post, but in this case all I can say is I hope we don't hear of a tragic shooting spree there anytime soon.
'Nuff said.
