Idaho just became the seventh state to allow concealed carry on college campuses. Gun owners are already taking advantage. Since the law was signed two months ago, the number of Idahoans seeking an “enhanced” gun license that would allow them to carry on campus has gone up by more than 50%.
Unfortunately, that number would be much higher if the law didn’t come with a bunch of unnecessary restrictions.
The first problem is that to get the necessary permit you have to be 21 years old – which leaves out most college students. That sort of defeats the purpose of “campus carry”, doesn’t it?
