On-duty University of Cincinnati police officer attacked in broad daylight: http://tinyurl.com/kmgd6zb" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

"A longtime campus police officer is recovering after being attacked Sunday afternoon while trying to help a person who claimed to be a victim of an assault.

The incident happened at about 3:15 p.m. in front of a parking garage at W. McMillan and S. Market streets, not far from the University of Cincinnati campus in Clifton.

UC Officer David Freudiger was driving along W. McMillan when a person flagged him down, alleged they had been attacked and asked for help. When the officer got out of his vehicle, a second person approached and began punching him in the face, according to a lieutenant with the University of Cincinnati Police Department..."

Maybe more lawsuits or more campus carry bills that are introduced, but going nowhere, will help?

If using this incident doesn't give our side some traction, it's hard to imagine that anything else outside in-person advocacy ever will. Well, maybe if a state representative or senator got attacked in similar fashion.

Every day that good legislation is delayed, is another day that us good guys are in more peril than necessary. I've been occasionally grabbing lunch up there on McMillan ever since we had our walk, if nothing else in support of the restaurants that welcomed us while open carrying. Sure I can be armed there, (and usually my choice is to conceal) but heaven forbid I'd have some notion to go look at something on the campus itself without disarming.

I share your frustration with the speed of legislation moving through the GA. Even the campus carry rules that are pending in the GA wouldn't help those of us on campus daily though as HB231 gives Universities the option, but doesn't require, them to opt in. We all know how they would decide that one.
What we need is Utah style law where Universities have no options, and can't take action against people who work and go to school. How we can accomplish that, I have no idea. It is clear that someone in the upper levels of the GA is unwilling to put forward true campus carry legislation.
