Some days I just smile a lot

This article put a smile on my face.
The Colorado State University Board of Governors voted unanimously Tuesday to place students at both of its campuses in harm’s way with a sweeping weapons ban...

Larimer County Sheriff James Alderden, outraged by the ban, told The Gazette’s opinion department he will undermine it in the interest of student safety.

...

“I have told the CSU police chief I will not support this in any way,” Sheriff Alderden told The Gazette. “If anyone with one of my permits gets arrested for concealed carry at CSU, I will refuse to book that person into my jail. Furthermore, I will show up at court and testify on that person’s behalf, and I will do whatever I can to discourage a conviction. I will not be a party to this very poor decision.”
I will admit not to be totally happy with the idea thou. I feel if you control a property then you make the rules there, and those who enter have the right to stay or leave....but a school of higher education is not exactly a fast food joint you can skip in life and find another real quick. That's why I am all for this Sheriffs comments.
