The point being; If students were allowed to carry on campus, maybe, just maybe one might have been able to put an end to the shooter before they got as far as they did.
Possible ... but if its like here in Texas which allows alot in the way of firearms and concreal and carry ... firearms are still illegal on state property and places where alcohol is sold. I am curious if the Corps at Virginia Tech has any type of armory or weapons. Like my alma mater; Texas A&M, Virginia Tech has an active Corps of Cadets and proud military history.
