Personally, I think that guns shouldn't be allowed on school campuses, even by school teachers. It doesn't make sense. At a school near me, this happened: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...BAAT19CUPM.DTL
No guns or anything were involved; just a tackle.
If guns were allowed on college campuses by all the students, then even more fights would arise, because of the number of guns on campus; simple rivalries and such would turn violent. Just my 2 cents.
So what do you think would have happened if the guy with the pipe bombs had a gun too? Do you think he would have been tackled so easily?
And why dont you read the thread before posting uninformed shit. Not "all the students" would be able to carry guns. You would have to have a valid CCW permit, which means you have to be 21, take a live fire, 8 hr class, and be legally able to even own a gun. So in HS and below, staff would be the only ones that could legally carry, and only if they went through the CCW class, paid the fee, and got the permit.
Before you attempt to offer commentary on what would happen if CCW was allowed on college campuses, you should understand how CCW works and who is allowed to do it. Furthermore, if CCW causes simple rivalries to turn violent, why don't we see this happening anywhere that CCW is currently allowed? You do know that people in most states are already allowed to carry almost everywhere except government buildings and schools, right? So why aren't they already gunning each other down over these petty fights, and why do you feel that they would begin to do so if carry rights were extended to college campuses? Do you think that being on a college campus somehow makes an otherwise law-abiding person more likely to kill over a small dispute?
