There are a lot of very charged people commenting on the issue of carrying on campus over at MNspeak. Apparently, according to many, it means a bunch of 18-22 year olds running around campus drunk and with guns. A lot of the comments speak to their own personal fears, ignorance, and prejudices.

I think it could use some comments from us!

Chimed in my $.02, not that I expect it to do much good with a bunch of emotionally-motivated antis over there.

Yea, I took a look this weekend. Those people seem too far gone for any response to be of any use.

Sigh...
Each day I sit defenseless at the U of M until this ban gets overturned... then again according to Bruninks guns "don't fit within the culture of the University"...whatever that means.

You have a choice to obey or disregard the UMN ban. it's simply another cost/benefit decision, though one that's answer is best kept private.
Check out the UMN you tube channel to get a better idea of how out of touch the administration is.

I use to work at the U of M Police security. U proper is the safest place in Minneapolis but step off of the property one foot (U of M stats are only for their property not the near by neighborhoods) and it is not so much.
Get a pocket gun... don't tell anyone and you'll have options at least. We all have a choice.

And I'm guessing if you have to use it, those repercussions will seem minuscule by comparison to what could have been.

There was some controversy a while back when the U was considering academic sanctions against people who commited various crimes. It had something to do with a lower legal standard than conviction being nessesary. No idea what ever came of it, but if that is in place the last statement may or may not be true.
I always wonder how to define campus proper. Obviously there are provisions for transport via vehicle and such, but how about washington avenue? Or the streets/sidewalks near the superblock/med-center?
