Only RESPONSIBLE and well trained people should have access to weapons in those type of situations. I see no problem with well certified citizens carrying weapons in public, but I don’t think every hot headed 18 year old on campus should be packing heat as some posters have advocated.
i don’t think everyone on a college campus would be able to get a concealed carry permit no matter how liberal the law is; however, if you’re a potential “lone gunman” and you know that 1 in 50 kids in your school are ellgible for concealed carry (whether they do or not) it SHOULD provide some hesitation. then agian, these people are batty to begin with so you gotta figure the way it would help is if one of those 1 in 50 were in the first building and took him out before he could hit the 30 other people.
P.S. are they still not sure whether it was one or 2 gunman????
18 year olds can’t even purchase a handgun, let alone get a CHL, until they are 21. When they are 21, what possible objection do you have?
That sounds like your average "law-abiding citizen" to me.

And who defines what "well trained" means? The D@mocrats? The Brady's? We've already gone WAY too far that direction here in New Mexico - courtesy of the D@mocrats...

I tell you what - I don't have time to read through thousands of posts here, but if you can provide credible examples of 'posters advocating every hot headed 18 year old on campus packing heat,' I would be happy to address the issue. In fact, it's a non-issue...
