Oh yeah, HIGHLY controlled, even in the field. Still, our guys and gals (teenage soldiers) are the best on the planet.
Having lived in college dorms and knowing what goes on there Thursday through Sunday nights, I wouldn’t really want any weapons around.
I understand your reluctance and accept and respect your feelings, but emotion aside, there are RAs, Grad students, non-traditional older students like me, etc, that are very responsible, law abiding citizens. If I saw you getting attacked or raped (yes, males get raped too), I would come to your defense if I were not legally disarmed.
You can seek training for self defense and hopefully become a true, dutiful citizen who carries a firearm for self defense of yourself and innocent others, or
you can spend the rest of your life wondering what you could have done to stop/mitigate a violent attack.
It is sad today that so many people are willing to just walk by and let evil exist.
I refuse to do so! Godspeed and keep the grades up!
You make a great point. I think back to when I was in college and the me of today would not issue a firearm to the Freshman or Sophmore Dan...but by the time I was a Junior I was a different man. Not every kid on campus would be carrying...but having those that care enough to get regisitered and get a permit and bother to carry would probably be a great asset in a situation like we had yesterday.
