“Across the rest of America, packing for college usually means gathering up books, clothes and maybe
an iPod.Here in gun-loving Texas, it could soon mean packing heat.That's because a bill heading for likely
approval in the state Legislature would allow gun owners who are licensed to carry concealed weapons to
bring their firearms onto the state's college and university campuses -- zones where the carrying of any
weapons is now strictly prohibited.What a horrible idea! A college campus is supposed to be a special
environment, not an armed camp.For me, introducing firearms into college environments already saturated
with youthful impulsiveness, social anxieties and alcohol is an invitation for trouble.” Comment 1:
Risky.Main issue I had at college was not enough lights and campus police around.If that were solved,
I'd feel safer.
Comment 2:
I believe that doing so is asking for more gun violence on campuses.Just because you have the right to
carry doesn't mean you should.
Comment 3:
Risky.It is a heavy responsibility that leaves no room for error.
Comment 4:
Concealed weapons can enable other crimes such as sexual assault.Just equip each classroom with an
alarm.
Comment 5:
Please point out a single case of a concealed permit holder committing a crime on a college campus
where it was legal to carry.I'll help you, you won't find one because it hasn't happened.I studied this while I
was in college and spoke to the public safety directors of every college which allowed concealed carry at the
time.None of them were aware of a single incident by a concealed permit holder.
Comment 6:
Do we believe that allowing students to carry loaded firearms on campus will REDUCE gun violence
on campus? Only a fool would think so.And while you may be able to point to a rare event where guns
might have prevented a violent incident, the risk you run in allowing students to walk around armed far
outweighs the possible benefits.It's, just crazy to arm college students.
Comment 7:
As for your "rare event where guns may have prevented a violent incident", what you really mean is
"rarely publicized and not tracked by law enforcement like a crime is." It is estimated that there are 100
million legally, privately owned handguns in the US and that handguns may be used as often as 2 million
times per year in legal defense incidents.Handguns are used illegally to kill people about 30,000 times per
year.That means that each year, 99,970,000 handguns didn't kill anyone.
