Comments
This could have possibly prevented VA Tech. Compare what started as a similar incident at Appalachian School of Law
If we give prople permits we should not create "gun free zones" where only the bad guys are armed.
I know there is a lot of hysteria around guns, but let's not be stupid about it.
I live next to a high school and on weekends love to take my kids over the basketball courts to play. It would be wonderful if I could do that and carry the same way I do everywhere else.
Unbelieveable. Concealed carry and I can not drive onto school property to pick up my child. Someone would see me lock it in my car and call the police to report some guy in the parking lot with a gun.. Concealed means concealed carry anywhere..
vote was 22-00 for passage and then was killed. Are the committees stupid. Everyone on the committe that killed it should be voted out of office.
