Hey everyone, I work in Rochester NY at a major university. There was an armed robbery on campus about 5 minutes before I got to work and about 300 yards from where I enter my building.
Here is the news report:

Pretty scary stuff. I don't carry to work because to do so would jeopardize my career, my education and my freedom (felony). Sounds like situational awareness failure to me...but I still think a firearm in the hands of the workers could have stopped the robbery. They complied with the robbers and still got shot. I am thankful they weren't murdered.
I have some major thinking to do about this one. Unfortunately I believe that my chances of being caught with a firearm on campus is way too high to risk it. Everyone knows how pro-2a I am, mostly coworkers were my references for my permit.
mods if this belongs in a different forum please move it.
