State Universities Turned into Victim Disarmament Zones--NOT SO FAST! :: 01/10/2014

Much to our surprise, the Post Gazette actually has a fairly balanced article on the idea of turning State run Universities into Gun Free Zones. The vote to do so, scheduled for 23 January, is NOT going to happen. Somebody obviously is listening.

"One side called it naive to think that keeping guns away will make Pennsylvania's state-owned universities safer. The other side could hardly have disagreed more, asking how effectively professors can teach if they suspect someone in class is armed."
