Guns on campus

I created a moderated forum topic on the issue of being able to carry guns on campus or not. I just wanted to hear what people had to say.

It seems that there are people on both sides of the issue and on the fence about this topic.

What I find interesting is the people are against the ability to carry a concealed permit on campus because they would no longer feel safe. To me, this begs the question: Do they go anywhere else in society except the post office and the courthouses? Are they afraid to go to the mall, or out to a movie, or to church, or anywhere else? Because people are allowed to carry concealed weapons in those places. Perhaps because the in the news in the recents years there have been tragic shootings at schools - of all levels. This really highlights the gun issue on campus.

Personally, I think a lot of the tragedy could have been prevented if people were allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus. For example, a student could have taken out the shooter before the shooter killed all of the students that they did kill.

Will this issue be resolved? Perhaps one day, although probably not the way that I am hoping . . .
