I last matriculated on a college campus 25 years ago. Since that time I have seen things that most of you under 40, except those who have served on active duty in the last 9 years, would not even dream of seeing.
As to whether on not to carry on campus, the answer is a resounding yes.
Per example:
I am a pretty good shot with a pistol out to 30 yards(90 feet). That is at least 1/3 longer than most lecture halls, which are the biggest rooms in most college buildings.
If someone with my abilities were to "go postal" and walked into such a hall that was nearly full (around eighty students), carrying what I normally carry and the nearest campus cop could be there in two minutes. I could guarantee 25+ dead and 30 wounded before the campus cop could get there.
Now if someone with the means to fire back, assuming the same ability, was in that hall. The casualties would probably be 5 or less, with one of those being the Idiot who started the whole mess.
You tell me, which is worse, 5 or 50+.
