Utah allows guns on campus
April 27th, 2007 at 10:47 am . by nukeSALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Brent Tenney says he feels pretty safe when he goes to class at the University of Utah, but he takes no chances. He brings a loaded 9 mm semiautomatic with him every day.”It’s not that I run around scared all day long, but if something happens to me, I do want to be prepared,” said the 24-year-old business major, who has a concealed-weapons permit and takes the handgun everywhere but church.
After the massacre at Virginia Tech that left 33 dead, some have suggested that the carnage might have been lower if a student or professor with a gun had stepped in.

Ya know, I had not previously known how similar a label-side down tube of zinc oxide diaper cream looks to a tube of Crest toothpaste when one is stumbling around getting ready for bed until tonight.

Hi swampwaoman - yep me too - I smothered myself in toothpaste much to my daughters delight (and she won’t let me forget it).
Excellent set of links Nuke.
UK is in the grip of a mini heatwave. Lovely but unseasonal.

Good shot of the US1 divide between burning and nonburning (or perhaps I should say not yet burning) forests.
I don’t think I’ve posted any pictures yet of the Kneeknocker Swamp fire just outside Nahunta, Georgia. It has been a smoky day here and everything is coughing.

Hey Nuke,
Utah is what I would call a progressive state. Something tells me we won’t be hearing about any one way shoot out there.
Thanks for pimping my post. Appreciate it. Sorry I’ve not been by much lately.
