Reminder why campus carry should be a goal of ours

Post by Brian D. »

I take a walk for exercise most mornings that weather and my time allows. Naturally, carry-legal places are preferable. But yesterday I decided to stroll the University of Cincinnati campus, since it's been a while.

Yes, I know that OPEN carry is legal for me there, but I didn't feel like getting gawked at, or deal with the UC Police, just trying to burn some calories.

The campus, like all major colleges, takes up a lot of acreage. A few narrow streets, mostly used for delivery and such, along with a myriad of stairways, ramps, blind corners between the buildings, etc. Heck of a good place to get mugged, after dark at least.

My big takeaway from the walk is, like always, a reminder of how STUPID it is for these universities to prohibit students, faculty, and visitors from having the proper self defense tools at hand.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

HB 233 which decriminalizes all no carry zones would fix this. It was passed by the house 13 months ago and has been totally ignored by the senate since then. I would rather see this bill passed over HB 228 (Stand your ground) since it would affect how and where I carry on a daily basis.

Kasich has already stated he would veto HB 228 while he has not taken a stand on HB 233. Maybe he would allow it to become law without his signature as he did with SB 81.

Didn't someone at PITP guarantee the passage of HB233 this year?
