Been trying in Georgia, too. There are two fundamental roadblocks.
The first is the Board of Regents, a government body that oversees the university system here. They don't want campus carry, and they have the money and clout to kill it every session. To get anything passed, we need their cooperation, or at least their acceptance. That's not been easy.
The second is an emotional divide. When a horrible crime happens on campus, there are those who respond that we need tighter laws, and there are those who respond that we need to allow students and faculty more options in defending themselves. Those two groups can't seem to find common ground.
Until those hurdles are surmounted, we won't have progress. It's a tremendous uphill battle.
