No, there should be no special dispensation for ANYONE. EVERYONE who has a concealed handgun license valid in the state where they attend school should be able to carry.
so then they should be able to...along with others.

+1What makes ROTC cadets any better than any other students? Most have almost no firearms experience, and the ones that do had to be rodded off the range when they qualified at Summer Camp. Not exactly confidence inspiring. :-/ When they actually get into the military they will not be allowed to CCW at work or in some cases even off base and off duty.

Of course you are right.Who the hell are you to say ANY American citizen shouldn't be allowed to carry a firearm?
Permit, no permit, training, no training, college campus, wherever. Not to sound cliche but what part of "shall not be infringed," don't you understand?
Of course you are right.
That is not the question at hand here, though.
The question is, should another group be given a "special dispensation" to carry guns where the rest of the population is not legally allowed?
f*** NO.
I disagreed and still disagree with giving cops nationwide CCW immunity while off duty. If I can't have it, so shouldn't they. They are no better than anyone else.

Adults try to get laid, drink, and go to work...and there are freaks and weirdos on every street corner of America. I really don't see how allowing a responsible and law-abiding college student to bear arms is going to wind up with the campus being a corpse-laden pit of despair. A college campus is a microcosm of our society in general. Perhaps the effort that is going into making sure our students are defenseless would be better spent on finding ways to encourage them to focus more on their studies and self-betterment.ROTC Cadets are still college kids and college kids go to school to get laid, get drunk, and get a degree in that order. In all fairness to them, I am compelled state that some, the rare few, are there to get an education, but these are the exception.
. A college campus is a microcosm of our society in general.
If that's the prevailing attitude then, be prepared for no student to ever be allowed to carry on campus. An all or nothing approach is sure to fall flat on its face. Look at it this way, just because you can't buy a postban hicap mag in Mass does that mean that no other state should allow the sale of postban hicaps, or should we use the fact that all the other states allow it as an argument to gain the benefit for us?I tend to go with the majority of posters here. I don't like any situation where certain groups (in this case ROTC) are given privaleges that others aren't. If it's good enough for ROTC members, then it's good enough for the student population as a whole (providing you have your CCW permit and have no prior criminal record).
rant
If they have a valid firearm license, what difference does it make? I would expect that those who elect to lawfully carry a firearm will take the time to be familiar with the safety and legal issues that come with this decision. From the articles I have read, it will not be mandatory that ROTC students carry firearms; it will be an option for them to carry or not.What exactly is the course of instruction that they receive?
