Default POLL: Students and CC on Campus

I know things like this have been beaten to death, but I just came across this poll, thought some people might want to hit it up. Not that polls like this mean anything to people, but I thought that if we keep getting enough on the "YES" side of as many of these as we can, that the public may eventually take note that guns and responsible owners aren't a bad idea. Who knows.

Vote here if inclined: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27706201/

Edit: Hope that's the right link, I think since I voted I can't see the poll any more, just the results. Maybe have to clear my cache first then try again.

Edit: Ok, clearing "cookies" and "temporary internet files" lets you vote again.

Should holders of valid permits to carry concealed weapons be allowed to take their guns on college campuses? * 10080 responses

Yes; armed students and faculty could respond to a critical situation immediately.
53%

No; allowing guns on campuses could confuse authorities in a real crisis.
47%

Default Re: POLL: Students and CC on Campus

Good Poll! I am a student and wish that I could carry on campus. Its not the on campus part that is important to me though, its the getting there and back. The bus doesn't take me right to campus and I have to walk a mile in and out. There is a bus stop that I walk past and last semester a student was robbed there. If I take a class in the evening it is extremely dark. Being allowed to carry if you have a permit just makes sense to me.

I'm betting if the poll ends our way the results will be swept under the rug.
