The report says the pedestrian was IN the eastbound lane. I can handle my vehicle just fine, but if someone walks out in front of me unexpectedly, there's not much reaction time.

Just another driver who can't handle his vehicle

Do you think concealed guns should be allowed on college campuses?

Yes - they should be allowed
Yes - but only with a permit
No - I don't want guns on campus


The faculty senate at Valdosta State University is taking a stand against concealed guns on campus. They unanimously passed a resolution last week to keep guns out of the classrooms and off university grounds. The faculty senate is standing in opposition to house bill 981. The bill proposed allowing citizens the right to carry concealed weapons into bars.. churches.. college campuses and even elementary schools.
