ALL-TOO-OPEN CARRY: Texas students fight new campus gun law with sex toys.
Let the hand-wringing begin:
To my European-born mind, the idea of putting guns into the hands of the immature, excitable and perhaps alcohol-addled borders on madness.
Imagine a professor who gives a student an F and is confronted by an irate individual who might be packing a pistol.
It seems not everyone in Texas is in favor of the idea.
On Wednesday, some students organized an imaginative protest by asking their fellow students to make love not war.
The campaign name is a touch imaginative: Cocks Not Glocks. As the campaign’s website explains, this is all about “Open (Dildo) Carry.”
The tagline is “Fighting Absurdity With Absurdity.” Might it also be, in quite an artistic thrust, a way of confronting America’s tight embrace of guns and tightly wound skittishness toward sex?
I’d guess the Venn overlap between people who embrace guns and those who are tightly wound about sex is slim indeed.
For what it’s worth, concealed carry has been permitted on all the campuses of all 37 Colorado state schools since 2003, with nary a single incident involving a licensed carrier.
