Masterful post, Douva. It's all the stuff that I wish were the case. Concealed carry on campus is such a non-issue that has been blown out of proportion by both sides. It's funny, your points are nearly identical to the ones I raised when I was briefly "involved" with the "Campus Carry" crowd at my school before it was stomped out by those with louder voices. The thing that is important to remember about the off campus residential stuff, however, is a gun back in your bedroom off campus or even in your car in the parking lot across the street does you no good. Looking back, I may have been a little loose (aka Full Retard) with the terms regarding "frat functions" and whatnot, but just imagine the dorm stacks at a big state school and you get the picture. Also: Having the permit and exercising the privilege are the two things that concealed carry buffs get hung up on. "I demand a permit, it's my right!" is often followed by "I don't all that often because it's a pain in the ass." How many of us have a laminated card in our wallet and no pistol on our hip?

Sadly, I don't think I could have framed the OP/discussion the way you did without getting "uh-huh"s from the Tilted Weaponry section.
