Re: Your recent comments on House Bill 937, “Amend Various Firearms Laws”
Dear Mr. Ross:
WRAL-TV yesterday quoted you as saying that provisions in House Bill 937 (“Amend Various Firearms Laws”), and particularly its provision allowing concealed handgun permit-holders to keep firearms in locked vehicles on college campuses would “increase the risk to public safety and hamper our ability to protect not only our students, staff and faculty, but also campus visitors.” Perhaps your view from the Ivory Tower is obstructed, Mr. Ross, so allow me to describe the landscape . . .
