This is strange, I heard a live report from NIU yesterday saying that the campus police were armed.
Whether campus police are armed or not is really irrelevant unless the college has a sufficient number of them to be in every classroom in a matter of seconds.
When your life will end in a few seconds, you can count on the fact that armed response will be available in just a few minutes.
Means nothing. Street cops are armed and they get killed, too. In fact, cops have such tight ROE (Rules Of Engagement) that sometimes they're easier victims than a ccw citizen! The really odd thing is that the liberal sheep in the region seem to favor still stricter gun control laws as if that's going to help! I wonder what a cross between a sheep and an ostrich looks like? OBAMA territory for sure! Wonder how he'll react to this on the stump?
This is following the old rule that you arm the people with the lower intelligence level. You see the really smart people that go to a university can't be trusted with a gun. They may hurt themselves!
