Who says criminals don't watch the news
Dan W:
They have hammered home the idea that no one on campus can possess a firearm, and now the bad guys know it too.
--- Quote ---OMAHA, Neb. -- The University of Nebraska Omaha said it's stepping up patrols around campus after an armed robbery in one of its housing units.
It happened about 9:15 p.m. Wednesday.Omaha police said a man knocked on a door, saying he was looking for someone.
When the door was answered, the man -- armed with a gun -- forced his way inside, police said.
According to the report, the man took two laptop computers and one wallet.
Officers who searched the area were unable to find the robber.

Roper:
Gotta love gun free zones. They can step up all the patrols they want, simply not enough resources to be every where. Tough situation for the students living on campus.
NE Bull:
FREE CRIME ZONES That's what we call them.
Another of my fence straddling issues. :-\ On one hand I'm not certain alot of our kids at the college level are responsible enough for gun ownership on campus. On the other hand, the responsible young adults should not be sitting ducks, so to speak, for violent crime, especially the young women and the possibility of rape.
I know I will catch flak for my thoughts. I will admit most of us have raised good kids (and taught them proper gun use and ownership)and believe they will make good decisions away from our nest. But there are plenty of kids who's parents did not do the job we did, or fell through the cracks of life that not only will make bad decisions in life, but also tend to pull our good kids into their world. Just look at your beloved UNL is rated tops in underage binge drinking and at the dumb-butt (censored for Dan) decisions some of the athletes tend to make make. It's those kids I worry about being drunk/ high or just being stupid with a firearm in a dorm (whether theirs or a roomates. )
Roper:
NE Bull -I hear what you are saying; no clear cut solution.
Dan W:
Problem is that everyone on campus has been disarrned except the bad guys.
Not every student is 18, and we allow CCW for only 21 and above. I see no reason to limit law abiding adults the means to self defense.
If they are trusted in the general population, then they should be trusted on campus
And like CCW in the general population, when only 1-2% carry, the criminal element has a much harder time picking and choosing victims.
