Students for Concealed Carry on Campus sue CU

Last Thursday, Students for Concealed Carry on Campus filed a lawsuit against the University of Colorado for prohibiting persons with concealed carry permits from exercising their right to self-defense on the campuses of the CU system. You will remember that an appeal by this group to the CU Board of Regents failed earlier this year. See my post of 08-27-08 under the Category: “Concealed Carry.” Battle lines have been drawn along the usual argumentative key terrain features.
The other side continues to state and apparently believes that guns, themselves, are more dangerous to their law-abiding owners and others than are the knives, clubs, and yes, guns, carried by predatory criminals. It is interesting to consider that some persons in government and academia think it is better for honest people to be victimized than it is for them to be allowed to arm themselves for self-defense.
The persistence of the “Nanny State” mentality is especially annoying considering the numerous recent attacks on young women around the CU Campus in Boulder, CO. I thought the mantra of the Left was “If it only saves one life…” Apparently no one has been killed yet in the People’s Republic, but it doesn’t look like the police have nabbed the perpetrators, either.
