...those in charge of security certainly need to be well-armed."

>>the campus was literally crawling with were armed cops with rifles. Your emotional plan failed big time.

I said well armed and well trained.

My plan was that if you wish your child to attend a university where the student body is armed, then send him there. Emotional?

My reply was to the other poster that posted to you. His reply was an emotional response. You had said, "I have a daughter starting college next year and I am not sure how I would come down on this." One must be 21 to possess a handgun and to have a CCW license. I support the right of all to exercise that right and do not support those that would forbid it in certain places, such as school grounds, because that simply denies their right and opens them up to attack by the scumbags that will take advantage of that situation.

I hope your daughter stays safe and has the ability to make her own decisions regarding self defense, unencumbered by bigots that would deny her right to do so, with unwarranted and unjustified claims, such as, that she was irresponsible, incapable of handling the situation, paranoid, or otherwise some form of bloodthirsty person, ect...

" I said well armed and well trained."

Doesn't matter. I've been with well armed and well trained cops that have testified before the legislature to protect and defend the rights of citizens to defend themselves. The fundamental point to be made is that they can not be everywhere at once, and most likely will not get there in time to do anything other than to count bodies, assess the damage and to otherwise investigate.
