Didn't Middle have a campus wide shooting about 2 weeks ago? And our governor wants Texas students to start packing.

Seeing as how it was illegal to bring guns on college campuses in Virginia I could point out the other side of this coin and say that current laws are completely ineffective at stopping some crazed idiot from being a crazy idiot (Va Tech shooter). I am sure Rudy will correct me if I am wrong, but most police agencies have changed their thinking on active shooter scenarios and will immediately move to confront the shooter instead of waiting for SWAT. This was one lesson learned from the Columbine tragedy.

Also bear in mind that CHL holders commit crimes at a far lower rate than police officers and you never hear anyone saying cops shouldn't be allowed to carry wherever they go...

We had a shooting on the UCA campus little over 2 years ago, that killed two students, by 4 punks looking for trouble (non-students). I would have no problem with Concealed Carry on campus, but I see the point of Police Officers, who when on campus with an active shooter, if you have a gun in hand or on you there is little reaction time, especially when the shooter has not been identified.

With that line of thinking, and this thread's topic, maybe we should ban all knifes on Campus?

You can kill someone with a knife just as effectively as you can with a gun.

What is wrong with people. Stabbing someone over an arguement? Tragic, tragic story. My prayers go out to her family and the MTSU community.
