After making all the arguments in favor of "allowing" campus concealed carry, the author decides "Nah, we can't be trusted. Helplessness is preferable to the possibility of mistakes." Moo. At the moment of truth, what he'll have is the freedom to line up for execution or run a few feet and take one in the back. That's still Virginia Tech policy. I'd risk being expelled.
The tired old argument about police not knowing who is the bad guy if everyone's armed during a school shooting is a non-starter. When was the last time police charged into a school shooting while it was in progress? Don't police departments have a history of waiting until the shooting has stopped and chalk-marking the bodies?
That the same tired old assertions are continually trotted out illustrates a complete lack of a legitimate, fact-based argument by hoplophobes.
One would think that they'd at least advance an argument based upon something that has actually happened, instead of continually resorting to vacuous hypothetical hyperbole.
I dunno. A madman with a gun, shooting up a campus filled with little communists in training, and professors trying to turn the US into a socialist hellhole sounds..... nahhhh. And Ned is right. The Doughnut Patrol won't risk their fat asses until they hear the firing and screaming die down.Then, they can enter bravely with the chalk and body bags.
I recommend Ben Stein's movie "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" for an exploration of the rigid mind-controlling nature of education in America. They fire people who don't toe the official line, in a profession in which intellectual inquiry should be sacred. Coexistence? Zero tolerance for that. Seventy years ago in Europe, they were executing them instead. I fully believe if our modern academic elites could get away with it, they would. Look up "Milgram experiment."

Reality imitates art, again.
So tell me again why I give up my rights as a citizen on a college campus? Because I made a mistake and chose to attend this institute of higher learning?

In the gun-hating state of Massachusetts, on the gun-free campus of Harvard, on the steps of a gun-free church, man shoots self to death.
