There is absolutely ZERO logical reason that Colleges and Universities be treated different when it comes to the issue of concealed carry.&nbsp; Across this great country, there are many States which allow a lawful abiding citizens to apply and become licensed for a Concealed Carry License\/Concealed Handgun License.&nbsp; This segment features Mark Ngo who is the local Campus Leader for Collin County Community College here in the Dallas\/Fort Worth Metro Plex.&nbsp; There organization can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.concealedcampus.org\">http:\/\/www.concealedcampus.org.<\/a> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Discussion<\/h2>\n<p>I do not want to sound patronizing or a chauvinist when it comes to these comments.&nbsp; The fact of the matter is one of the reason I am a big supporter of this is for the rights of women to defend themselves.&nbsp; I am not saying a man doesn&#39;t need to protect themselves equally,<a href=\"http:\/\/ctwresorts.worldventuresdreamtrips.com\/dt_info.php?dreamtrip_id=90603\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignright size-full wp-image-105\" src=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/puerto.jpg\" border=\"2\" alt=\" \" width=\"430\" height=\"149\" align=\"right\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/puerto.jpg 430w, http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/puerto-300x104.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a>  but I believe the security risk is even higher for women attend school.&nbsp; Not too many cases of men becoming sexually assaulted on Campus as compared to women.&nbsp; Someone trying to take your wallet is one thing, but the emotional scars of a sexual assault last well past the police report is filled.&nbsp; A woman who is trained with a handgun can utilize this as an equalizer in this type of a threat.&nbsp; Considering the physical stature difference between men and women on average and the issue of working American&#39;s looking towards continual education well pass their early 20s in this economy, there are a lot of people who attend night classes. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Most Campus Police\/Security have the arguement of &quot;Well if a woman feels unsafe she can call Campus Police and we will escort them to their car.&quot;&nbsp; For any woman reading this, I want you to get together with every woman you know on campus taking a night class and all request this be done EVERY time you leave your classroom.&nbsp; I am sure they will shortly realize that this is NOT a viable solution and just a &quot;feel good&quot; answer for the liberal left to try and make victims out of you.&nbsp; This is a disgraceful attitude by the established University and State Colleges and a gross negligence on your personal safety. &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>My belief in this is the following.&nbsp; A person&#39;s right to self defend themselves DOES NOT END at the parking lot of a higher education facility.&nbsp; Now the arguement about while a College Athletic event type activity is going on, I am fine with the exception and can live with it.&nbsp; The reason I say that is because going to a Sporting Event is a personal choice.&nbsp; It is not a part of the educational process that is required to better your life.&nbsp; I would be fine with the restrictions and would just never go to a College game.&nbsp; However, the school is telling you if you want to better your life and get an education, we INSIST you become a victim.<\/p>\n<p>How is protecting yourself while you go the ATM at night, stopping off at a grocery story, having dinner with friends, catching a movie ANY different than doing the admirable thing of getting an education and help yourself (and some cases your family) become a viable member of the work force.&nbsp; I have a lot of respect for single mother&#39;s who along with having to juggle a job, kids, family, etc. and having to find a few spare moments to take night classes to better there life.&nbsp; As a society, why are we punishing these women and putting them in harms way and making them easier targets for being mugged, assaulted and sexually assaulted?<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>I 100% support all efforts of www.concealedcampus.org.&nbsp; This is a solid organization that is doing their best to protect individual&#39;s right to protect themselves.&nbsp; Everyone said in the past that if you had Concealed Carry Laws in a State that there would be a mass increase in handgun related crimes, etc.&nbsp; There has not been ONE SINGLE BIT OF PROOF to support this.&nbsp; The only poll\/study I support needs to come from the FBI crime statistics.&nbsp; If you take a significant sample period and compare the crime statistics of States before and after enacting Conceal Carry Laws, the numbers don&#39;t lie&#8230;.unlike CNN does on a daily basis with their over the top liberal media that needs to lose their journalism credentials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;I would like to thank Mark Ngo and the Collin Country Community College chapter of Concealed Campus for their efforts and wanted to provide a forum and a voice to speak about this topic. <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"index.php?option=com_seyret&amp;task=videodirectlink&amp;Itemid=27&amp;id=67\">CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO PORTION OF THIS ARTICLE <\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Civilian Tactical Weapons Presents our discussion on Concealed Carry on Campus.&nbsp;
