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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
