Guns on Campus

The Idaho legislature has done what ever it is it had to do to allow students and teachers to carry fire arms to school. I am not sure if it is a law yet or just passed one branch of the legislature. What gets me is that Oregon already allows this. Kids in Oregon have been carrying guns on campus for years. Idaho is last or near last in a lot of categories including education and income, but I would have expected Idaho to be first when it comes to the right to bare arms on campus.

I guess, to be on the safe side, I should get my concealed weapons license. There is something about secret loaded firearms in the pockets of our students, or tucked in their pants, that makes you feel safe, like nothing can go wrong now that any number of young college kids might be legally carrying.

I just hope that during the next Mexican standoff in class the cops can tell the legal gun owners, the heroes if you will, from the bad guy(s)/gal(s).
