Vick Wants Guns-On-Campus Action

On his Twitter account, Idaho state Sen. Steve Vick, R, Dalton Gardens is worried that Gov. Butch Otter will scuttle Rep. Erik Simpson's proposal to allow guns on Idaho college campuses. Vick tweets: "Contact the Governor and urge him to support our 2nd Amendment rights: Otter scuttled last guns-on-campus push." Vick then provides a link to a newspaper story in which the SR's Betsy Russell mentions Otter's misgivings about similar legislation three years ago here.

Question: If college students have a constitutional right to bare guns on campus, shouldn't high schoolers, at least those 18 years old and older, have the same right to bear arms on school grounds, too?
