[QUOTE="loudshirt, post: 2537464, member: 10585"] I work at TU and can tell you crime is quite a bit lower than the surrounding area. TU is also a private university and any laws made for campus carry would probably not make it to TU. Based on age, citizenship, % of people in the state that have permits and % of people that actually carry on a daily basis, the number of students eligible to carry, the number that actually carry would be relatively small. I generally agree with carry on campus. I would like to see at least at each university level a requirement for safety class or evaluation to include a demonstration of proficiency loading and unloading the firearm. Also we do currently have a place for students to store weapons and with very few exceptions they are available to check out 24/7. We also offer security escorts 24/7 to any student who calls and asks. If you look at the crimes map from the Tulsa Police Department [url]http://maps.cityoftulsa.org/Crimes/[/url] and look at crimes for 2012-2014 you will see how few crimes actually happen inside the borders of the campus. The campus is south of 3rd st until 11th st. West of Harvard until just the west side of Delaware. Crime is exponentially lower inside the borders than just outside. The one in four college women stat is very misleading. Most sexual assaults that occur on college campuses involve drinking and the revoking of consent. Meaning you have people who were drunk woke up in the morning after being assaulted or were decided to stop the guy once he "got past third and was on the way home". Both of those types of assaults gun would have not made much of a difference. There are violent abductions and rapes which are much more rare on campuses. I do agree that it is a conflicting narrative and that that one in four college women stat is misleading. I just wanted to expand a bit more. [/QUOTE]
