Need legislation to allow carry on university campuses

--- Quote from: bradkoll on April 12, 2012, 04:07:34 PM ---What's up with wanting CHP carriers to have 2 years of normal CHP before being allowed to carry on campus? I don't know about you but that is worthless to the vast majority of students. I just turned 21 and I'm almost done with my Junior year, I will be graduated by the time I have been carrying for 2 years. One thing is for certain I wouldn't support such a strict legislation.

Because that would put the minimum carry age on campus at 23, most students will graduate by age 22. See?

I just look at it like this, UNL is a fairly large campus. If you can't carry on campus then how much of Lincoln is denied to you to use? Why should I have to walk an extra 6 or 7 blocks just because I'm carrying if I want to walk somewhere?

Bill Kintner is running for Nebraska legislative district number two (south of Omaha).

I recently spoke with him about campus carry, and he is an enthusiastic supporter. In his own words: "Public Universities and campuses should not be state sanctioned killing zones."

Met with senator Fulton, many things were discussed. The conclusion was that without changing the makeup of the Judiciary Committee, campus carry bills will die before reaching the floor.
The Senator was kind enough to take the time to explain how we could shake up the Committee in both the upcoming elections, and at the beginning of the next session, when committee members are selected.
We also discussed alternative methods, such as trying to push a bill through a different committee, such as the Education Committee. As well as an Advanced CHP bill, while considered a potentially bad move with the current Judiciary Committee, could be a good route in the future.
One very interesting idea, would be to push for bill that would open any firearms control law up to review by the courts.
He also mentioned, and I will be looking into it, the possibility of taking the current state sanctioned no-carry zones to court. Such restrictions are against the state constitution, and could potentially be litigated. It would be costly and time consuming, but not impossible.
As far as the Regents, he seemed to downplay the chances of ever gaining any real support from them, as well as the influence they would have over such a bill.

Wallace, I'm looking forward to being able to have some time to visit with you this weekend. We have a lot to discuss.
