If Keenum catches heat, it should be for us losing R1 status on his watch, not this imoQuote:

If this bill passes and both presidents hope it doesn't, they will lease the stadium on game day to a event operation company who will then put on the game. This will allow it to be a private event thus allowing the event production company to ban guns.
It's not that rigorous. Pay the money and take the class. You get it.Quote:

You are comparing apples and oranges. Carrying a gun in the public is much different than allowing an armed individual who may have been drinking in the midst of 75k people in a confined space with limited exit points. The risk for the second scenario is obviously much higher.Quote:

They may not all look like Navy Seals but I guarantee you they can put a bullet where it?s supposed to go and, more importantly, know when not to fire and how to handle a crowded situation. If your training is on par with that then you are good to go.
But...if there is a situation in the stadium and you pull your gun and your not wearing the correct identifier I can pretty much guarnatee your day will end quickly and poorly. Guns in a stadium or arena is just a very bad idea.
On the idea that we should just strap it on and duke it out with the SEC/NCAA because we feel Mississippi law trumps them, we've tried that before. And lost. Big time. Larry Gillard. Lesson should've been learned, but some seem to be confusing their bravado with reality.
To those that claim "this doesn't change the law", you're engaging in intellectual dishonesty. We know about 2011. But 2011 did not re-codify premises law. You still may be limited by your voluntary purchase of a ticket/license. No one is forcing you to go to football games. If you don't want to agree to leave your pacifier at home, you don't have to buy a ticket. (Or "peacemaker" if you prefer). But the ticket that is offered to you for purchase carries with it conditions. One of which is that you may not bring a weapon into the stadium. This bill would eliminate the ability of the school to impose that condition on your purchase of the license.
If you refuse to acknowledge this distinction when making your argument, and insist on claiming "this doesn't change the law; it's already on the books", you're flat out lying just to serve your self-interest.
On your peacemaking abilities in a large crowd up to 65,000 and more, MSU, and the SEC, and just about every college campus, and high school, and professional team, and concert arena, and international sports arena, have decided that it prefers to leave the peacemaking to official security. Can the world be made perfectly safe? Of course not. But they've made that decision based not only on common sense, but on significant research and consultations with security experts the world over. Most seem to think that's a wise decision. If you don't, this is America. You have the option to stay the hell at home and let the rest of us keep enjoying SEC football.
Just to play devil?s advocate here, but here is one possible unintended consequence if they do that. An EC goes to the game and is unarmed due to this scenario. At 11:30pm he and his family are walking back to their vehicle parked on the other side of campus. On the way back in a poorly lit area they are assaulted and robbed at gun point and his wife is shot in the process. He may then be able to sue the university for not providing adequate security and denying himself the ability to defend himself and his family. And before you say that would never go anywhere remember a woman sued McDonalds because she spilled coffee on herself and got burned and she claimed they were negligent by not putting a warning on her cup.Quote:

Unless you see them shoot someone and then you shoot them, who is to say another person doesn't shoot you because they saw you gun down the actual shooter. I don't care how much training you have to go through to get your permit, that situation would be extremely chaotic and even professionals would have a tough time.Quote:
