"Around this time last year, a loophole was forced open that allows students to keep guns in locked cars. Many found it problematic, some saw it as a decent compromise between an all-out ban and a free-for-all. But for a few on the ideological fringe, it wasn’t nearly enough of a relaxation."
"For that reason, House Republicans have proposed a total lift on the ban. It’s championed by Rep. Gregory Steube of Sarasota, a young representative who took office in 2012."
"If this bill passes, anybody with a concealed-carry license will be allowed to have a firearm on their person anywhere on college campuses in the entire state of Florida. It would remove guns from the list of things you can’t have in dorms ..." ... |

| Such a bill will certainly reduce "casual theft" opportunity for firearms on campus. Cars aren't very secure "gun safes". And, (from my collegiate experience) cars came and went. Nor was there a lot of cash or skills to install a safe into them. (There's also today's issue of LE finding one suspicious.) The "dorm issue" isn't one, unless campus life has changed considerably. And if you can't trust "your family", who can you trust ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
