I've been out of college several years but I just don't see that many students carrying. First of all most college students aren't going to spend the $$ for a CCW+handgun+ammo+holster, they would rather pay for gas and food. Second most college students don't dress in a way that you can conceal a weapon, obviously on a cold day in VA you would probably be wearing enough clothes that you coud carry. Finally the vast majority of ppl simply don't have the mindset to go from complete boredom (college lectures) to BAM BAM BAM. Still, like other posters have stated a minute chance is better than none at all.
When I first ETS'd from the Army I attended a couple of community college classes. On one of the first days of class I came across an old neighbor who then worked as a bodyguard. We started talking. He was a few years than me and a high school drop out but he wanted to get into law enforcement so he was trying to complete an AA degree. Back then having recenly gotten out of 3 long years in the infantry I had basically no interest in firearms but we began to discuss them since he carried one for a living. When I jokingly questioned if he was carrying on campus he flashed me his Glock 23. I questioned if that was allowed. He advised me that it doesn't matter because no one on campus had the ability to detect him.
He is now a US Marshall.
