Earlier this year, Texas passed its own "campus carry" law despite opposition from University of Texas Chancellor William McRaven, former leader of the U.S. Special Operations Command who oversaw the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. (Yeah, he did that.) Texas now joins other states such as Idaho, Wyoming, and Oregon (!), which are forcing colleges to allow concealed handguns on campus to varying degrees.
In the wake of school shootings like the one in Roseburg, OR, it's tempting to think that a "good samaritan" with a gun could prevent loss of life, but there's not exactly a precedent yet for armed civilians stopping a mass shooting. There have been, however, an incomprehensible number of deaths from gunfire. It seems likely that the number of accidents, suicides, and heat-of-the-moment shootings would quickly eclipse the number of lives saved by armed college students.
they think college attendance is down wait till the mayhem and murders start from carry laws. just because you are in college does not mean you are any less susceptible to the emotional outburst and feelings of anyone else maybe more if your rationale skills are in full bloom if you have a problem you can come up with more reasons to than not "BANG, BANG"!!!
maybe if colleges made it more affordable to attend their colleges they would not depend so much on local gov't assistance because more would be able to attend bringing in more revenue making them more self sufficient.
