The local University teaches a carry permit class every week which is quite well attended each time. Many University students and faculty take the course, but the University will not allow any firearms on campus. When I was attending there in the sixties, my roommate had a 12 gage in the dorm room and used to shoot tossed tin cans on weekends int he parking lot out front. Campus police sued to come by and give it a try with their squadcar shotgun. No one was ever shot on campus back then. Now that weapons are banned, there have been two fatal shootings in the past three years on campus. Of course, when I was riding the school bus to school in the fourth grade, my older brother was on the rifle team and carried his .22 and a box of ammo to school on shoot days. No one ever shot people at schools back then. I happen to know the principle had a pistol in his desk from when I was sent to the office and he was cleaning it on his desk and finished while I sat fidgeting until he loaded it and put it away.

*gasp* - Storing a loaded handgun! [/sarc]
That would be unlawful discharge.
The Virginia Tech shooting occurred one year after Va Tech banned guns on campus.
