Missouri Campuses Just Got Safer

A small bit of sanity here at home:

Chalk one up for law-abiding citizens.

Republicans speaking in favor of the concealed-carry amendment said college students have a right to defend themselves from violent people who would disregard designated gun-free zones.

“I believe in concealed-carry,” said state Rep. Denny Hoskins, R-Warrensburg. “If you can carry a gun in other public places, why should an open college campus be any different?”

The amendment was approved by a more than 2-to-1 margin, demonstrating how broad-based the support was for the measure.

Predictions:
1. there will be no outbreaks of gun violence on Missouri campuses in the near future
2. if there is one, it will be short with few casualties


That's the way it
always works.

Good call, Missouri legislature!


There's my two cents.
