[FrayAdjacent911]

Well, one needs to realize that on the VT campus, pretty much everyone was disarmed. That made them easy victims for the psychopathic shooter.

Do you think that kid would have gone to a police station instead? Not likely. He knew he'd get the maximum shock where he was.

Now, guns in college are a tricky proposition. I certainly don't go for the blanket, knee jerk reaction of the antis, and condone EVERYONE on campus carrying! Many college students are simply not mature enough to handle owning, much less carrying, a firearm. Add in lots of freedoms (parties, drugs, alchohol), and it becomes more touchy.

But even in spite of all that stuff, I think that those who are legally qualified, trained and licensed to do so, should be able to carry wherever they can.

Just one such person in the path of a psychotic killer looking for victims could have saved lives.... potentially many lives.

It comes down to this - the best thing to stop a madman with a gun, is another person with a gun.
