Have gun, will study

If you really want to feel horrifically uncomfortable, just take a gander at H.B. 615.

Thanks to an anonymous tip, the bill is set to head toward a committee hearing early next year. The legislation, which was sponsored by Rep. Tim Bearden, would let holders of concealed weapons bring those weapons onto most public places across the state, including college campuses. In fact, if you click on the link to review the proposed legislation, you'll be more stunned by what's crossed out rather than what's added on.

The bill would strip away all barriers to carrying concealed weapons on places like the University of Georgia, though, according to an internal email, various representatives from the Board of Regents are hoping to negotiate a compromise that would let concealed weapon permit holders bring the weapons to campus in their car, but they would have to leave them there rather than, you know, take them to English 101.
