    Woohoo!!


    Should holders of valid permits to carry concealed weapons be allowed to take their guns on college campuses? * 28056 responses


    yes; armed students and faculty could respond to a critical situation immediately.
    82%



    no; allowing guns on campuses could confuse authorities in a real crisis.

    "Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes. But let it not be said that we did nothing." - Ron Paul

    "Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."

    I done my duty. Now I need one of those little "I voted" stickers....
    "They [the Soviets] intend...to induce the Americans to adopt their own 'restructuring' and convergence of the Soviet and American systems ... Convergence will be accompanied by blood baths and political re-education camps in Western Europe and the United States. The Soviet strategists are counting on an economic depression in the United States and intend to introduce their reformed model of socialism with a human face as an alternative to the American system during the depression."

    I voted. Yah know though I have wondered what would happen if CCW was allowed on campuses (which it should be of course especially since people love to go shoot them up so much) what would happen in that chaos.

    Here's the example, you are in your classroom and everything is normal all of a sudden outside the room you hear bang bang and cue people screaming and running away. Everybody in the classroom is in disbelief including yourself but you just so happen to have a 1911 inside your jacket. One of the assailants (or lone shooter) comes to your door and a shootout begins between you too. While the firefight is taking place the campus police show up and see you and somebody else exchanging fire. How do you keep yourself from getting confused by the police?
    "I know the urge to arm yourself, because that’s what I did. I was trained in firearms. When I walked to the hospital when my husband was sick, I carried a concealed weapon. I made the determination that if somebody was going to try to take me out I was going to take them with me."

    Diane Feinstein, 1995

    You follow the cop's directions.

    Edit:

    To expound on this a bit, these scenarios happen all the time in Israel where armed civilians gun down terrorists. They don't seem to have much difficulty sorting out the good guys from the bad.

    Yeah, just do what the coppers tell you to do. You also have a classroom full of witnesses, so count your blessings.
