Gov. Jim Justice signed a bill allowing people with concealed carry permits to take firearms onto public college and university campuses.

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice signed a bill Wednesday allowing people with concealed carry permits to take firearms onto public college and university campuses.

"For crying out loud, the doors are wide open," he said."This is just saying the law-abiding people have a right to be able to carry if they choose to do so. We just hope and pray that there's never a problem. We can't ensure in any way that there won't be a problem." The presidents of West Virginia's largest institutions of higher learning urged lawmakers to reconsider as the bill moved through the Legislature. They said decisions about whether or not to allow guns on campus should be left to the institutions, and voiced concerns about students struggling with mental health challenges.

"Today we must come together to focus clearly on what is most important to all of us — keeping our students, faculty, staff, visitors and community members safe while on our campuses," Gee said in a statement."That has always been, and will remain, our utmost priority."

Un fucking believable

I’m sure nothing bad will ever happen there now.

Have these people completely melted down and lost their sanity?

He's giving permission. 'Kill the education oriented people who can see thru our bullshit'

Vile. Despicable. Republicans WANT shootings.

Follow the money and it all goes back to the NRA- campaign financing needs to be addressed!!

For what purpose? Who are they doing this for? Who are all the people that above all must be allowed to run around on student campuses with a gun? Fuk sake already!

Have a strong feeling, this is not going to end well 🤷🏽‍♂️ The ideology that more guns in circulation will reduce gun violence 🤷🏽‍♂️ is absurd !! It just becomes a race !! 🤷🏽‍♂️

Just why?

They are adults. If we can send these people to war, we should allow them to defend themselves.

There is a quote from Lord of War that says ' There are over than 800M firearm in the world that's like 1 firearm for every 10 people The only question is ' How do we arm the other 9 ' Looks like the Gov has found the answer

This is awful - when is enough ,enough

There ya go...create an atmosphere where it's easier for the wolf to blend in with the herd.

Monster

What could possibly go wrong?

I don't trust college students driving cars but y'all wanna give them guns.

Yes, now we know that there WON'T be a mass shooting on a campus in the state of West Virginia. Mass shootings only happen in gun-free zones

What is this obsession with forcing births and then allowing them to be murdered later?

Good Allow law abiding citizens the right to protect themselves

What could go wrong?

Kids doing keg stands packing a 9. What could possibly go wrong 🤦
