Guns on campus
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A state Senate committee began meeting this month to discuss whether people who have concealed weapons permits should be allowed to carry guns on state college campuses.
You may remember that the Legislature decided in the spring to allow people to pack heat on MARTA buses and restaurants that serve alcohol.
Proponents say students who hunt would be allowed to keep their guns and rifles in the trunks of their cars. Faculty and other employees might also be allowed to carry weapons.
The State University System and others have opposed the change, questioning the need and expressing worry that students may be put at risk.
Should guns be allowed on college campuses? If so, what restrictions are needed?
