See my tagline---we MUST eliminate gun free zones, aka killing fields. We must let the qualified students arm themselves--on campus.

Even though this latest guy used a knife--remember, never bring a knife to a gun fight!

Dang it. And of course here the kids can’t have a handgun under 21 much less carry on a campus. I can only carry to pick her up or visit in car. In a red state no less.

RRRRRR

This isn’t possible. Doesn’t everyone know that guns are prohibited on VPI campus?

just grabbed this from AP

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — A fatal stabbing on Virginia Tech campus has triggered a crisis alert system that was revamped after a deadly mass shooting there in 2007.

Students were warned at 7:44 p.m. Wednesday to stay in place in an alert sent by e-mail and text message. After a suspect was taken into custody, students were told about an hour later they could resume normal activity.

The killing took place at the Graduate Life Center. University spokesman Mark Owczarski tells the Richmond Times-Distpatch that the suspect is male and that police found a knife they believe was the murder weapon.

I know I’m “not young”, but I remember having both my shotgun and my rifle in my closet in my apartment during my College days. I thought absolutely nothing about it. It was however off-campus.

This was a West Texas State University, between 1966 and 1970.

Had a single incident that I found a need for them, other than hunting.

Lost a roommate mid-semester, and had to pick up another who I would not have chosen otherwise. He and some of his drunk cowboy friends came into the apartment one night, woke me and proceeded to threaten me and pour beer one me. When they were distracted for a moment I reached into the closet and pulled out the 20 gauge, and when I slammed the breech shut, they scattered like a covey of quail. I had no more problems after that. Needless to say the roommate left soon.

Enough of college stories.
