The New College "Safe Spaces"

It wasn't me.

It was pistols being issued to 11x's

I seriously doubt the discretionary weapons issuing is no longer standard practice.

Which means who is getting issued what, including M9's is a matter of who's in command.

Some units only officers get them, others pretty much every E5 and up is rockin a drop leg looking operator as fuck.

I think you misunderstand what I meant. Doesn't matter.

 

[neci]

do you stick the gun holders in with the smokers?

And, if all the students had been armed at the time, they would've stopped him...

...and then gone to their classes, and stopped teachers from talking about the Civil Rights Movement.

I seem to recall armed citizens actually taking shots at Whitman.

Random shit~
Jerry Lewis, yes, that Jerry Lewis, was one of the fastest guns ever.
He did it competitively and almost always won.

"In the English speaking world, government started to display disregard for natural rights about fifty years after they introduced a police force, about the time that people took power who had grown up in a state where police enforced the law.

If the degree of natural law a society possess is determined at least partially by that people armed vs. police armed equation, then that not only explains how far we've fallen but also how far we must climb back up."

"During decolonization the U.N. created governments in accordance with this false idea, the idea that all a state required to exist was firepower superior to that of private citizens, and that with superior firepower it could create a civil society, if needed, by fiat. The newly created governments attempted to remake or eliminate civil society in accordance with this false idea.

As a result of this false idea, in the third world and in the former soviet empire, a number of governments have collapsed or are close to collapse. Leviathan derives his cohesion from civil society, Without a strong civil society the police, the army, the bureaucracy and the judiciary tend to dissolve into a mob of individual thieves and hoodlums, each grabbing whatever he can, and destroying whatever he cannot. It is civil society that holds the state together. The state does not hold civil society together. Civil society is not a creation of the state. The state is a creation of civil society."

August 1st is also the date Charles Whitman, a former marine, took to the clock tower at the University of Texas and shot 46 people, killing 14.

And with a concealed handgun, no less.

So much for them being a Liberal thing. (This is, of course, exactly what they wanted.)

Texas Campus Carry Law Putting Damper On Academic Debate

by Corky Siemaszko

A new Texas law allowing people to carry guns on state college campuses is already putting a big chill on fiery academic debate.

The law does not go into effect until Aug. 1, but professors at the University of Houston have started preparing guidelines for dealing with gun-toting students that include warning faculty to steer clear of "sensitive topics" and dropping hot button issues from their curricula, according to a UH Faculty Senate.

The proposed guidelines also advise faculty to not "'go there' if you sense anger" and "limit student access off hours."

"Only meet 'that student' in controlled circumstances," the guidelines state.

"It's not official policy," Faculty Senate President Jonathan Snow told NBC News on Wednesday. "The faculty is waking up now and saying, 'Oh my. Come August I will be teaching classes with students who could by carrying guns."

UH is expected to release it's own "draft policy" on guns in classrooms next week, a university spokeswoman said.

"The University of Houston takes issues surrounding campus safety and guns on campus very seriously and will strive to create policies that comply with the new Campus Carry law, protect the rights of citizens, and address the safety and security of the entire campus," a UH statement reads.

The Texas campus carry law signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott allows licensed gun owners 21 and older to carry their weapons on university grounds if they're fully concealed. It was bitterly opposed by most academics across the state and sparked student protests.

"Weapons designed to end human life have no place in the academic life of the University, except when carried by duly authorized law officers," the UH faculty senate wrote in a resolution last year. "The diverse campus communities and free academic discourse are especially threatened by the presence of deadly weapons in teaching, research and living spaces."

Under the law, private universities can opt out and well-known schools like Rice and Baylor have done just that. But not the state schools.

Last week, the president of the University of Texas' main campus in Austin announced they will abide by the law and allow handguns in classrooms even though he opposes the idea.

"Let me say that I do not believe handguns belong in a university setting, in a campus environment dedicated to education and research, but nevertheless as president of a public university, I am responsible for implementing" the new law, Gregory Fenves said.

Texas only the eighth state to allow licensed citizens to carry concealed weapons on state college campuses, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. The others are Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, Utah and Wisconsin.

If professors are gullible enough to think that the law stops people from carrying guns on campus, they should probably go back and get a degree in common-sense.

People carried guns to my high school semi-regularly. It was illegal. It didn't stop gangbangers from packing.

The only thing this law changes, is that it allows people who are trained and licensed to do the same thing legally. The whole fear about things becoming "the wild west" has yet to pan out anywhere that there is legal concealed carry, which at this point, is just about everywhere. Just because you don't realize someone is carrying a gun next to you, doesn't mean they aren't. It's not cause to freak out.

Pretty sure that's a Sig, it's definitely not a glock. Even you should know that.

 

[richard_daily]

You know this isn't the first state or first college to allow guns.

Don't let facts get in the way of hysteria!

 

[oggbashan]

Only soldiers I ever saw carrying handguns were officers, MPs and (weirdly) finance clerks carrying the company payroll.

TOE (Table of Organization Equipment) for an Army Light Infantry Company allocates a whopping eleven M1911 .45 caliber pistols to a single company. Not very many to go around. LINK

If Light Infantry let the enemy get close enough to be within effective range of an M1911, that Light Infantry is in deep shit (or fighting 1914-18 type trench warfare).

On a battlefield, a pistol is a weapon of last resort.

Yea you either use them to get to a rifle or you use them on your team/yourself.

Comparatively speaking, teh enemy is much more likely to get closer to a light infantry company than a heavy infantry (mortar) company, an armor company or a field artillery company.

From what I'm reading, pistols are very common in the post-Rambo "Army Of One" military.

Its a bit blurry but I believe I see an ambidextrous safety and a loop hammer. If I am correct that would make it a Beretta, possibly a 92 compact with a rail. I agree that it is not a Glock.

The trigger guard ambi mag release, lack of 'beaver tail' of any sort and the slope on the back of the slide/grip scream H&K USP compact...

The trigger guard ambi mag release, lack of 'beaver tail' of any sort and the slope on the back of the slide/grip scream H&K USP compact...

First the trigger guards on both suspected weapons are almost identical. "ambi" mag release is on both guns. Upon closer inspection I will agree with you that the lack of a "beaver tail" would prove that I was incorrect.

The kid does does have good taste.

And pistols seem to be in common use in Hollywood's repeated movies in which a few Americans save the world - again.

It's always good when Hollywood gets it right.
