College Students With Guns?

      On August 1,2015 all state 4- year college and universities students would be allowed to obtain a concealed handgun license (CHL) to carry their loaded, concealed weapon in these buildings. This bill was passed and titled "Campus Carry" according to a post by Vanessa a colleague who explained with detail plenty of reasons why this bill is absurd and can possibly open the doors to further problems in campuses.

     Allowing guns/weapons in colleges and universities period is not reasonable to me and to the author of the post "Is Texas Crazy" because it puts more people in danger. She did an excellent job in reminding us all that ones brain is not fully developed until the age of 25 and clearly college students do not fall in that range. Meaning "legal adults" (ages 18+) are allowed to make adult decisions, without a full mature brain. Much less if you give them the right to carry a gun around. Also Vanessa wrote about how stressful and exhausting it is to be in college and to have to deal with a personal life all at once. It is as if you are in a competition in life trying to survive and be successful to be the best. All that stress can cause somebody to act without thinking as to commit a crime or something greater.

   The blog was well written and went straight to the point. The information posted was beneficial to me and to many others who I am sure can relate even if they don't agree. It gave me a stronger outlook on this issue and believe should be amended.The evidence given helped understand why she agreed or disagreed with this issue.

     In conclusion, she gave good factual evidence towards her thoughts. I completely agree that taking the law into ones hands is not the right direction to have safer campuses. This can lead to even bigger massacres when more than one person is carrying guns. I personally do not feel safe at all by this bill. This is why I can relate to the author when she says it is a fear that will follow us for the rest of our lives.
