To me the good thing about ccw isn't protecting others, thats for the police to try to do not me, but that it allows those people that want to be able to protect themselves to do so. Would/did any of those 32 people have had a license? I don't know, but its terrible that they weren't given the option.The theoretical mathematical probability of someone having had a CCW and being in a position to do something about this tragedy is very, very small.
We obviously can't have an armed guard in front of every classroom every day of the year," he said.
If I were the parent of one of the dead or injured students I would be in civil court as soon as possible claiming the University deprived my child of his civil rights, the right to keep and bear arms, and I would be on every news outlet that would listen to me.
I think it is a failure with terrible consequences to address reality to not have as many faculty and staff as possible armed for such possible situations. How many attacks on schools must we endure before reason is restored?
