Ohio Rep.

Ohio Rep. Ron Maag (R...of course) wants to force university faculty and staff to allow concealed-carry guns into our workplaces, yet his workplace (the Ohio Statehouse) remains gun-free. When your workplace is so averse to risk that it won't even permit backpacks inside, do you really have any place telling others what weapons we should have to allow in our offices and classrooms?

  2. All I can say is the day that I suspect a significant % of my students are armed is the day I stop giving out any grade lower than a B.

  10. Er, has a backpack become some sort of class marker in Ohio?

  11. Andres Soolo no, but you could hide dangerous things in one...things they're afraid you'll use to hurt them.

  12. Craig Froehle: But dangerous things could also be fit in a briefcase.

  13. Andres Soolo A large backpack has quite a bit more volume and can take much longer to search than a briefcase.

  14. Craig Froehle: Incidentally, do the New York's stop-and-frisk policies ofter cover briefcases?

  15. Houses of worship already have opt-in provisions under existing laws.

    That's a relief.  For a minute I though House republicans forgot about covering religious freedom.

  16. Craig Froehle​ And as we all know a retrofitted pressure cooker will fit in a backpack, or a gun with many hundred's of rounds of ammunition. We have become a weapon obsessed society.
