+1 for Billmc. Well written and articulated. I offer another solution to fix the overall problem. Oust many of the left wing teachers who spread their vile filth. The majority of college professors in this country seem to be libs. I've even read that hinting you're a conservative will prevent you from getting hired at some Universities. Thoughts?

I have declined to give money to CU at least four times in a row over this specific issue.

I like watching this issue since my wife who is back in school (early thirties), has a CCW and carries daily. (she is not at Boulder)

She even talked with the campus police as she started the program, verified CCW permissions, asked how local police ID themselves during lockdown situations etc etc. (It helped that she was a POST certified police officer for a university campus here in CO)

I find it funny because she isn't the biggest fan of her teachers, disagrees with them quite a bit and frankly doesn't get along with about 50% of her whinny classmates but hasn't gone all crazy like the the anti-CCW article would assume she would.

This issue, like so many others, is polarized to the point that one side will never convince the other.

That's the problem. As gun owners we do not care if anyone owns or carries a gun, a personal choice.
The opposed to CCW crowd, DOES NOT LIKE THEM AND because of that does not feel anyone should have or own a gun.
That's why they call it Tolerance & Diversity.
AGREE WITH US OR FACE CONDEMNATION,Our Outrage and we will do anything and everything in our power to make sure, No One Else owns things we do not like.

Remember they do not want to be convinced. They want to be Right!

I can think of at least five contentious issues you could fill in the blanks with. Neither side, of any of those issues, will ever be convinced by facts/logic/Etc.
