Second, college is an insular, unique world. A 21 yr old not in college, living in the real world with a real job and real bills, etc. is different than a 21 yr old in college. This is not to say that being in college should stop one from being able to own/carry, just that I don't have a problem with college rules disallowing guns on campus.
As for the military, I think you can concede that life in the service, especially on deployment, is quite different from regular everday life in America. For one thing, high school doesn't start with boot camp.

All the more reason why persons that have passed the CCW requirements be allowed to carry on campus. According to you there wouldn't be many qualified people so what would be the harm?
As far as life being different in the military, that goes without saying. What you may be missing is that many students are ROTC, junior ROTC, active military, retired military, etc. If they fit the CCW requirements then why not? And maybe High School should start with boot camp!
