The one in Pearl MS ended when a teacher ran out to his car, got his gun and put a bead on the shooter, bringing him to his knees. He held the gunman there until police arrived. It's possible his having the gun in his trunk was against the law, but I'm not sure if that 1000' from campus law had been enacted in MS.
I wonder how many former military and ROTC students at VA Tech that could have had concealed carry weapons with them, if only they were allowed to exercise their 2nd amendment on campus.
Imagine the difference had it been VMI instead of VA Tech?
I am not a cop, but I do have a few cop friends and relitives, this does not meet the smell test. I would like a few FReeper Cops to give their input.
Right you are - the one in Pennsy was stopped by a store owner.
