WSMV Campus Carry Survey

[RandyC]

Channel 4 Nashville had a news segment regarding proposed legislation allowing professors to be armed. Included was a gathering of campus police reps crying about it.

We are invited to go to WSMV's web site and hit a survey about whether we think campus carry is a good idea.

I just voted and noted that without the help of any pro-gun forums the sheepdogs were ahead of the sheep 70% to 30%. Gotta love Tennessee.

It is sad that so many cops feel that they are the only ones who should be allowed to be armed.

Keep in mind, there's quite a difference in the opinions of the organization of police chiefs and the rank and file of the street cops. Police chiefs are appointed by politicians and they will side with whatever the mayor wants them to think. Rank and file cops, when able to voice their opinions anonymously, usually side with the citizens right to carry. But, just like the folks of any occupation, some can't be counted on for citizens' rights.

Why is this bill worded that only the teachers can carry? Why not the rest of the folks with handgun carry permits who keep their handguns on them? That is the problem I have with this bill.

I doubt I would readily place my life in the hands

of a professor with a gun. They did enough damage

with a pen, back in the day.
