Ohio is not one of 10 states that have proposed bills that would allow students to carry a concealed weapon on campus but there is debate over whether it should be and some argue that doing so could help prevent sexual assaults.
So far in 2015, 10 states have proposed bills that would allow students who are licensed to carry a concealed weapon, to do so on their college campus. Those states are Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, Texas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and Nevada. Bills allowing for guns on campus are already gaining significant ground in states like Florida and Texas. |

For the female that gets and a gun and the training, YES. What kind of person would deny a young rape target the means of defense? |

What sexist SOB would deny any woman - anywhere - her "inalienable right" to self-defense ? And, despite some widely touted "criticisms" by a self-admitted extremely poor parent, how does "crossing the line" twixt a college campus and the rest of the area by someone already examined/vetted/trained in firearms negate those conditions ? If "crossing the line" into a college campus somehow negatively afflicts the individuals involved its seems logical colleges ought to be required to post signs declaring this mystery affliction. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
