University of Colorado to Segregate Dorms For Students with Concealed Carry Permits: Good or Bad Idea?

I don't know where to begin to say how dumb that sounds.

First, all the negative attention/publicity they are drawing to their school for even making such a pronouncement.....

Armed robbery, rape at gunpoint- those are the sorts of activities that many frat boys partake in. These aren't model citizens or responsible adults for the most part. College students with guns? Please! I teach these people- I know that most of them are better off without guns. Leave the guns for the true adults.

It is dangerous to the disarmed dorm to be without the protection of guns.

It can go both ways have to assess and act !

It's just a way for the school to make some students cave to the popular misconception that guns are inherently bad.

I can't believe they are allowing guns on campus in the first place. This is ridiculous. I wouldn't want to have my child going to college under those conditions.

they'll know who to call when some nut-job tries to hurt someone; and the gun carrying students will subdue without prejudice..

They're going to be the only ones safe.

they will be the only ones safe.

Those will be the safest dorms on campus because any goober crazy enough to go around raping, robbing, or murdering will avoid them like the plague.

It's better for safety's sake.

I'd want to be sure to live in the dorm WITH the permits.

I would too friend.

Only because I don't think they should be segregated. U think there should be at LEAST one armed student, if not more, in EVERY dorm.

They're legal, why should they be segregated? If there's going to be a crime committed it won't be in their dorm at least.

Beyond belief bad!

i see a social experiment goin on behind the curtains

Great idea .... it'll lessen the chances of sane students getting shot 'accidentally'.

Who wants to live w/ a bunch of drunk/stoned college kids w/ guns.

I know I wouldn't...

Can't be any worse than allowing to carry on campus.

People have a right to protect themselves from the gun nuts.

At least I would know what dorm to stay away from,the one with concealed carry permits.I want to stay as far away from these people as humanly possible

And you would be one of the first shot in a school shooting.

Oh Pleez....That is a LIE....

A person with a concealed carry permit is not a nurse, you dolt.

It's good. Let the ones carrying have a shoot out amongst themselves and not envolve the innocent ones in the other dorm

Tell that to the rapists, thieves and muggers. Which dorms do you think they'll be looking at?

An analysis by the University of Colorado shows that 0.6 percent of the faculty, staff and students on campus possess a [concealed-carry permit] CCP. A full 96 percent of CU-Boulder undergraduate students living in the residence halls are under the age of 21, and are thus ineligible to have a CCP. Of the 4 percent of eligible students, about half living on campus are CU Resident Advisers, or “RAs,” who as CU employees would not be permitted to live in undergraduate halls and possess a CCP. Your a real know nothing big shot...?

Gunman opens fire on college dorm. Remember that one??? Me neither.

No, that began in a dorm and two hours later he went ballistic through numerous classrooms.
Plenty of prior warning signs which is why VA Tech was found liable in March of this year. They had two corpses on their property and did NOTHING to alert the rest of the campus.

"Media reports say Cho may have been suffering from depression, and that he left behind a lengthy note in his dorm room that was filled with grievances.

Classmates say Seung-Hui distinguished himself on campus by being anonymous.

They say that on the first day of a British literature class last year, students took turns introducing themselves. When it was Cho Seung-Hui's turn to speak, he said nothing.

The professor then looked at the sign-in sheet, and noticed that Cho had written a question mark instead of his name. The professor asked, "Is your name 'Question mark?"' A classmate, Julie Poole, says Cho offered little response.

She says he then spent much of the class sitting in the back of the room, wearing a hat and seldom participating. Poole says, "We just really knew him as the question mark kid."

While details emerge in the investigation, administrators at Virginia Tech are being subjected to some second-guessing over how long it took to get out a campus-wide warning in Monday's shooting rampage."

All that and you didn't even answer his question.

What if someone got a gun permit after s/he moved into a dorm room? Would s/he have to move again?

maybe if they kept it concealed, no one would ever know ! ! !

I suppose they'd have a concealed permit for a reason and everybody would find out if they used it.
