Did anyone else listen to the NRA podcast (Cam and Company) last Friday when they had a representative from Buckeyes for concealed carry on the program?
He represents the group trying to allow campus carry at OSU. This is something that currently is allowed on over 200 campuses nationwide. On those campuses so far, there have been no single report of negligent shootings or other problems that the anti-gun crowd foretells.
He discussed how he attended a meeting where Gorden Gee was discussing crime on campus, and how all these steps were being taken to reduce it. The student brought up the point that allowing concealed carry would also help, and was shut down almost immediately. It is already perfectly legal on campus, to leave your gun secured in your car. President Gee essentially told him we could discuss that topic for days, but it will never happen as long as he is president. He also made the statement that according to him, guns are allowed nowhere on campus, even though the law allows it in cars.
He then went on to say how he feels the drinking age should be 18 and how he has told officers to selectively enforce the underage drinking laws.
Interesting how he refuses to enforce the current law in relation to alcohol, but will wrongfully criminalize someone following another law.
The student commented that after the meeting, he approached president Gee and asked what is the difference between carrying on and off campus? Gee told him "I have no authority off campus or there would be no carry there either."
Interesting listen if you can pull it up online.
