Since when are you not allowed to have firearms in your private property?

I'm sorry, but Florida has it wrong: it is not acceptable to tell college students (or public school teachers, for that matter) that they're not allowed to have firearms in their vehicles on school property.

Missouri dealt with this same issue, a few years back. It was found that a vehicle is an individual's private property, even if it's parked on public or state property. Schools and universities cannot tell an individual who is otherwise legal to have a gun on their private property that they can't have a gun in their car (private property).

Personally, I don't think the state has a right to tell people that they can't exercise their second amendment rights on state property (like a state university). I have no issues with individuals posting that their premises are target-rich environments, but states and federal agencies that post no weapons policies on their premises are doing so in direct violation of what they were told not to do.

  2. Nothing regarding guns can be as bad as this:

    With my legitimate RX for medical marijuana, I CAN NOT OWN A GUN (LEGALLY)!

    Put that in your 'chamber' and fire it!

  3. BC, unfortunately, legally prescribed or not (and logically or not), marijuana is a federally illegal drug. That means that the federally required questions that ask about drugs on the paperwork that you fill out to buy a gun won't distinguish between what a state says is a legal use, and what it sees as any use.

    It's not fair, and honestly, I'd rather see pretty much all drugs made totally legal. This "war on drugs" isn't just not working, it's actively causing harm.

  4. RIGHT, that's the government's
    half ass interpretation of this old gun law.....

    This is an absolute denial of my
    right to bear arms!

    It will be challenged and defeated.

    It's hunting season here,

    Every hunting "camp" has 2 things for sure.

    High powered rifles (a few side arms) and cases of beer.

    I rest me case!
