7 States Considering Allowing Guns On College Campuses
5 Things That Should Be Allowed On College Campuses Before Guns
College students get caught with all sorts of things they're not supposed to have -- alcohol, drugs, plagiarized papers... And up until now, guns would have been considered contraband, too. But at least seven states are currently considering revised policies that would allow professors and/or students to carry licensed firearms on campus. That's right: guns on campus. Whatever side of the issue you favor, it seems like there are some clearer risk vs. reward policies that states should amend first. Here are five.
(1) Christmas Trees
Some Oklahoma legislators think Sooner state students need guns. But what about garlands? Oklahoma State University strictly prohibits live Christmas trees in dorms, suites, apartments and corridors. In 2005, there were more than 30,000 U.S. deaths associated with firearms. In 2002, Christmas tree fires killed 23 people. Just sayin'.
(2) Waterbeds
New Mexico officials are big on arms support, but less concerned with therapeutic support for backs. Specifically, New Mexico State University doesn't want any waterbeds on the premises, which makes sense when you consider how pristine and plush the carpets are in most college apartments. Because undergrads are always taking off their shoes at the front door, investing in extra Scotchgard and avoiding activities that might precipitate spillage.
