Reply #75: In most states you have to be 21 to get a concealed carry license ... [View All]

so the 19 year old student away from home for the first time would be unable to get a carry permit.

Here's a couple of quick questions for you:

1) How would you feel about allowing off duty police who are students to carry firearms on campus?

2) Would you have problems with requiring a higher level of training for those who would be permitted to carry on campus? For example a truck driver who drives an 18 wheeler has an endorsement on his driver's license that shows he has far more training and passed a more difficult test then the average driver.
