Gun bill shot down again The News Star thenewsstar.com
"Legislation allowing concealed weapons on public university campuses thankfully was shot down again this week.
Rep Ernest Wooton, I-Belle Chasse and chairman of the Louisiana House's Criminal Justice Committee, has repeatedly attempted to pass this legislation, maintaining that it would improve an individual's chances for safety in a threatening environment.
That thought is well-intentioned, but the logic is faulty. No college campus needs students, faculty and staff wandering around packing guns, waiting for the next opportunity for a shoot-out.
This time, the legislative committee didn't even listen to testimony, silencing the bill on an 8-3 vote."
