More Guns on Campus?

Check Out Students for Concealed Campus http://www.concealedcampus.org/

The Sheriff in our county (Fairfield/Ohio) just reported there has not been 1 complaint with any of the concealed carry license holders here in 4 years. These citizens have passed gun safety courses, fingerprint checks, & BCI background checks, receiving approval from the State Attorney General. These well-trained law-abiding citizens bring an added element of safety in our violent society. How many detractors would pass the same scrutiny these license holders have submitted to?

One of the FBI's most dangerous cities over 100,000, Columbus, is just 20 miles North, where I see weekly assaults/shootings/stabbings in my Fire Department job, often committed against helpless victims. Those who work on the street know criminals can get guns anywhere, quickly. ALL police officers know this.

Our society is only benefited by well trained, licensed, armed citizens, whether on city streets or on college campuses, who have the ability to protect themselves & their fellow citizens from the violent attacks that are increasing around us every day.

Licensed to Carry in Ohio

As a student and a responsible firearm owner, i would feel quite safer if i was allowed to carry on campus. I don't want to be a hero, i just don't want to be a victim

Some of you all are complete morons.......i am loading up the guns and going to blow off some steam at the local range. Anyone care to join in some wholesome fun with our family???? Guess the rest of you "sheeple" can bow down to your dictator Hillary......

No one has a legitimate fear from law-abiding age appropriate students being licensed to carry a concealed firearm on campus. These same students have the right to carry concealed weapons in other public venues and there is no history of problems from that. The people who have the most to fear are the few idiots who are going into "gun-free" zones and having no opposition in their slaughter.

What ever happened to Morality, Personal Responsibility and Free Choice?
Dr. Lyle Rossiter, A top psychiatrist
"The roots of liberalism - and its associated madness - can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind," he says. "When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious."

"a social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity. "A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population - as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation's citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state ???

Our county was founded on the ability of people helping people. Ordinary people should not be afraid of guns. I don't own one but I can understand the balance of power needed. Guns don't kill people, they reduce the thinking time. If more citizens were armed, then the unhappy gunner would be "thinking" about that, before picking it up. If this could change their mind, then we all win.

Sensationalism not guns cause people to kill people. The guns have been around for centuries but recent live coverage has given it the instant national coverage these sick folks crave. We need to control the media not the guns. I propose we limit news coverage of these events to print only with no pictures. This alone will help cut back on the attention that these crazies are seeking and slow this process down.

The simple and indisputable fact is that if we refuse clear minded, law abiding citizens the right to cary the tools to defend themselves; then such people will always be defenseless against deranged whack jobs who dont care whether the law allows them to possess or cary weapons. Citizens with a legal right to cary concealed firearms are required to attend lengthy classes in both the laws regarding use of deadly force as well as to obtain and demonstrate proficiency in handling and using those weapons. If anyone ever stormed into a large group of people with the intent to kill as many as possible and I were present and carying my legally concealed firearm, that person would be disabled long before he could rack up a substantial body count.

to wkgator - I concede that if guns were not available these killers would have to use other means, like the man in New York who killed over 80 people with a gallon of gas or less.

Even if we stop legal guns from being sold to anyone with any kind of mental patient history, these people could still get guns. Also, using a brush that broad is unwise. Most people who seek treatment for mental illness are less violent than the public at large.

If you are calling 21 year old students children, yes we live in a country where children who have become adults need to be responsible for their own safety.
Do you believe that gun bans actually stop anybody who wants to commit crime from getting guns?
If so why does D.C. have such high crime? If we take away the guns will criminals be harmless? If so why are prisons so dangerous?

I firmly believe that one of the students who was allowed to carry a concealed weapon could have prevented some of those other students deaths! My father taught me gun safety and to shoot when I was 8, I did the same with my daughter. She's now 21 and we BOTH have our concealed carry license and carry faithfully. If there were armed students or faculty there the shooter could have been stopped at his first reload for sure!

Every American citizen has the ''right'' and obligation to return fire for his and his fellow citizen's safety.
