As a father of daughters who will go off to college a decade from now, I don't know.
I will teach my daughters to carry a firearm and be well-versed in its use, and to ignore stupid campus rules like that of Virginia Tech.
I grew up in NYC and have a sixth sense for people who are "off" - I don't know if my daughters will have those instinctual streetsmarts.
And if someone is "off", whether eye contact is made or not or they are acknowledged or not doesn't really matter.
Based on what has been reported up to this point this guy was waving a red flag that he was "OFF". Setting fires, stalking, his maniacal, raving english papers which were enough for his teacher to send him for counseling. I just don't see why the so called counselors didn't do something.
Also, I don't think anyone with a green card should be able to buy a gun of any kind. JMO
Thanks AC for posting this thread, poor young girl.......prayers for her family.
