There have been a number of mass shootings on college campuses through the years. Most notoriously, the Virginia Tech massacre where a maniac murdered 32 people and injured more than twenty others. There are, unfortunately, numerous other examples.

Yet not a single mass shooting has happened at a college where campus carry was legal.

Now, the state of Kentucky is considering joining the number of states that allow concealed carry license holders to carry firearms on campus.

House Bill 210 was filed in Kentucky Tuesday, which would allow guns to be carried on college campuses.

At this time public universities in Kentucky do not allow students with concealed weapons licenses to carry guns on campus.

It’s also worth noting that the bill doesn’t change the concealed carry license requirements.
