Leftists are hardest hit. West Virginia governor signs campus carry gun bill.
I'm not sure why the people clutching their pearls think that allowing law-abiding gun-owners to be armed will encourage criminals. Criminals were never going to abide by your "no guns allowed" signs. They are criminals.
West Virginia's governor signed a bill Wednesday allowing people with concealed carry permits to take firearms onto public college and university campuses.
As for the Left...
The presidents of West Virginia’s largest institutions of higher learning urged lawmakers to reconsider as the bill moved through the Legislature. They said decisions about whether or not to allow guns on campus should be left to the institutions, and voiced concerns about students struggling with mental health challenges.
Because those mentally challenged individuals are also going to abide by your rules, and if they do "break down" and go crazy, then it is best (for who, they never say) if there no guns in the hands of good guys to stop the madman. Or something.
The bill bans the open carry of a firearm on a college or university campus and allows institutions of higher learning to implement exceptions. It also prohibits people from taking guns into areas with a capacity of more than 1,000 spectators — stadiums for football games, for example — or to on-campus daycare centers.
