From correspondent Mack H:
This is something worth following, I think. Let me take this step-by-step...Yep:
A Virginian, all by himself (pro se), is suing George Mason University to secure the right to armed self-defense on college campus.
His legal briefs are posted here:
http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum54/31880.html
He lost in Circuit court, so now he is now appealing to the Supreme Court of Virgina:

The AG's office has responded with this brief:
http://www.virginia1774.org/GMUBRIEFOPPET.pdf
This brief alleges that a taxpayer supported university has a "compelling government interest" in banning armed self-defense because allowing students and visitors to bring weapons onto campus would imperil safety.
"Without the regulation, the University's safety is seriously compromised." From page 13. Read on to see examples listed as to why safety is threatened by guns on campus. You decide how ridiculous those examples are. No mention of armed campus cops. That wouldn't fit the template.
The Virginia Attorney General is William C. Mims.
Billy Mims is a well-known gun control RINO. He has always supported gun control over freedom.
Bill Mims is a close, personal friend of Bob McDonnell. For a time, they both served in the House of Delegates.
McDonnell hand-picked Mims to be his deputy AG - his second in command.
McDonnell planned all along, when he won the race for AG, to resign early so he could run full-time for governor.
McDonnell hand-picked Mims to be the new Attorney General -- his successor.
Bob McDonnell has received the endorsement of the NRA. He has not (so far) received the endorsement of the VCDL-PAC.
No one writes about this publicly. I wonder why?
McDonnell...urged lawmakers to pick Mims, his chief deputy, to succeed him.and:
Virginia: NRA endorses McDonnell for GovernorAny political rating system that doesn't take into account anti-gun political alliances is incomplete and deceptive.
