Its state property so its up to the state. I don't think the students should have any say in the matter.

If there is to be a vote, it should be statewide for all registered voters of that state. A referendum, I believe it is called.

That is an interesting idea linking carrying to property, but since the roadways are state property couldn't that eliminate all off property carrying?

Yes it does. Without a CC permit, there are very strict guidelines for carrying weapons in motor vehicles, which is the method of choice for most. I don't think they bother the Amish buggies too much.

I don't like the idea of someone who will never visit or be part of my college campus to have a say on what my "rights" are to own a gun at my college campus. It is an issue that is very personal to the students so it should be in the hands of the students and people who are part of the university, no one else.

If you don't think students are mature enough to have the final say, we don't have the maturity carry a gun on campus. No double standards.
