Does anybody have any sort of a published list of colleges and universities which have declared themselves to be "gun-free zones(TM)"?
In other words, a list of colleges and universities for high school grads concerned about survival to avoid?
I think all of them have.
All California public colleges, that's for sure. As an Air policeman in the 70's I had to turn in my sidearm at the UCSC gate to visit some buddies. Eight hours later, several sheets to the wind, I got it back.
Adding that to the list of reasons for avoiding California is adding one more drop of water to the ocean.
A
2003 survey by the Alliance for Justice, a Washington, D.C., advocacy group, showed that 82 of 150 of the biggest universities in the country ban all firearms on campus. All of the rest placed restrictions on firearms. Private universities and colleges can generally ban guns on their campuses, because of their rights as private landowners.
I believe that Utah is the only state that has colleges that allow guns on campus.
One thing I do hear on the news is that sales of firearms in and around Blacksburg have skyrocketed since the shooting. If you assume that at least some of these sales have been to students, then you have to assume that some people have decided to simply no longer obey the law requiring them to be defenseless targets whenever any sort of sh** happens., and I would guess that the same is happening elsewhere.

Any source for what you hear?
Just WMAL. Listen long enough and you might hear it again.
There shud be a lot more GUNSMITHING courses
readily available; ( I KNOW that there already are, but there shud be MORE )
so that more citizens 'd MAKE their own guns,
just exactly as thay like them; custom jobs.
